Here are some of Paolo Soleri's tools. Soleri and his art studio use lots of tools to create the ceramic and bronze bells and a variety of innovative concrete structures.
Yesterday you saw a photo of one of the concrete architectural buildings Soleri created. Note in yesterday's photo the interesting texture in the walls and ceiling of the concrete band shell, created by tools and specially created forms.
Soleri continues to build his eco-friendly city called Arcosanti, which is in Cordes Junction. It is being built for 5,ooo people and is an experimental project. It is only 3% complete.
Soleri is a visionary and has added to the interesting tapestry of people who call Arizona and Scottsdale home.

Interesting!
My husband works with hand tools but his medium is wood so some of these don't appear in his collection. I love this photograph of the beautiful tools, spread out and ready to be put to work.
I like this. The tools of an artist.
I only recognize the hammer :)
I know someone that is a stone mason. He uses mostly old school hand tools & creates amazing pieces. I can appreciate the talent. Thanks for sharing all this interesting info on Soleri.
All lined up and ready to go.
