| A stone artisan by definition may be described as an individual who specializes in the art of working with stone. However, a stone artisan is not necessarily a stone master. By our definition at Advent Design a stone master is one who has mastered the art of working with the stone. The essential difference lies in his long experience. A stone master is often one who has given his life's work to understanding the nuisances and unique characteristics inherent in chiseling in sanding and shaping a piece of stone into a beautiful finished piece. When Advent Design commissions a stone master to create custom baths, the stone master needs to have a high degree of understanding to interpret the design drawing on a piece of paper in order to create a truly magnificent Advent Design custom stone bath, stone tub and stone basin. Stone masters are often second generation family individuals. For example, we work closely with a family outside of Siena in the hill country of Tuscany where like the father the son has been working his entire life with stone. The father has recently retired but the son gains all of his father's wisdom because the father and mother are living together with the son and the family continues to carve and shape beautiful stone objects including balustrades and magnificent solid stone columns and the most beautiful Advent Stone luxury baths you could imagine. We commission our stone masters to carve shape and form nature's greatness into magnificent works of art. As always, we select our sources and carefully design these luxury baths with a single focus; to provide our clients the opportunity to enjoy a lifetime of luxury bathing pleasure and artistic beauty. Our stone masters carve each piece with meticulous care and patience so that each Advent Design custom bath turns the ordinary bathing experience into the ultimate spa bathing experience. |
