Rock Talk Lapidary S2:E10 Kersten Safford – Creative Lapidary Artist and more
Kersten is the the originator of this show as well as an awesome artist in many mediums as you will learn tonight. Kersten is a strong, smart, funny, compassionate and super talented woman! She is an amazing artist and wonderful friend, mom and wife. Kersten has a great willingness to teach, share her knowledge with anyone that needs help and has been instrumental in helping many get started in the lapidary field of art. We all love learning new things from her as well as the rest of our co-hosts and fellow racoons.
Thanks for joining us at Rock Talk Lapidary and get to know us as we share personal experiences and lessons we’ve learned along the way. We all are members of a special club. We all love rocks. Each of us brings to the show our own insights and knowledge. We share our mistakes too so you don’t have to make them. We cover topics ranging from collecting and identifying specimens to lapidary and mining.
Please ask questions and bring a notepad you just may need it.
As for us, we come to you with creative ideas of things you can do and make with your rocks whether you are already a lapidary or just curious about the hobby we invite you into our workspace.
And now we have Video on Spotify!
