The oldest records of civilization come to us through stone carvings. Stone carving has evolved and adapted throughout the ages, in cultures around the world.

The Stone Carvers Guild is a group of independent working professional carvers based throughout the United States. We are working to ensure that carved stone will continue to play an important role in our built environment throughout the 21st century and beyond.

This podcast looks to capture members' stories and experiences to share with others.

    In this episode of the Stone Carvers Guild Podcast, hosts Bethany Lee, Matthew Johnson, and Joel Penhorwood sit down with longtime letter carver and calligrapher Janey Westin.

    Janey calls Minnesota home and began her career as a professional calligrapher in 1985. Her love of letters naturally led her into the world of stone carving. Over the years, she has expanded her work beyond lettering into sculptural projects in a wide range of stone.

    Janey has also shared her knowledge by teaching letter carving at the Indiana Limestone Symposium.
