AUTHOR: What is the most amazing about the art of Jim Stevens is that this award winning international artist is legally blind, with only a pin dot of vision remaining in both eyes. He lost his sight as a result of combat wounds suffered while serving in the U.S. Army. Jim studied art with his grandmother, Ruth Tasker, a commercial artist, as well as American master sculptor Ed Dwight and Russian master stone and gem carver Vasily Konovolenko. Jim retired from the University of Colorado and works today as the master scrimshaw and ivory craftsman for Fenton, the international jewelry design studio based in New York City. He also teaches the art of scrimshaw and ivory inlay for the National Rifle Association's Gunsmithing School. His scrimshaw, carvings, and sculpture are collected internationally and can be seen regularly at the Grand Lake Art Gallery in Grand Lake, Colorado, and the Casa de Esperanza Art Gallery in Seattle, Washington. He is frequently sought out for museum quality ivory and carving restoration work. 134 colour photographs Details ISBN 0764330179 ISBN-13 9780764330179 Title Advanced Scrimshaw Techniques Author Jim Stevens Format Paperback Year 2008 Pages 80 Publisher Schiffer Publishing Ltd GEItemID:136590601; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
