Dennis has joined the group of Pikes Peak area artists at the Boulder Street Gallery on Tejon Street in downtown Colorado Springs. He will have different products every month, to coincide with the Gallery’s participation in First Friday events.
In January, Dennis will show a variety of bowls with his stone inlay. New for 2019, several of the bowls in different shapes incorporate tiny turquoise tiles in the rim. This photo is a mesquite bowl with the tiles.
The case will also include several smaller items with stone inlay. In addition to turquoise, Dennis uses lapis lazuli, Minnesota pipestone, and malachite. He crushes most of this stone in his 1910 laboratory rock crushers. There is no better way to process small batches of semi-precious stones!
