About a days journey from the Luzon area to one of the many beautiful islands off the east coast of the Philippines is the base of a small company which specialises in making beauty in marble.From small handicrafts such as dolphins and elephants to giant life size statues of animals. At the moment you can see at their workshop a wide variety of exquisite sculptures, to suit almost every pocket and every need. Bathroom fixtures, kitchen utensils, decorative ornaments and even cremation urns - you name it and they will make it. Here are some pictures from their assortment. What they cannot make is probably not worth making.
There is an innate purity in marble and though not all of their pieces is totally hand made they are all hand crafted, some with machine tools to assist them. There is also no limit to the imagination and as well as producing lifesize models of Buddha and Korean priests - they supply the Korean market with these and many other of their marble creations, they also make a dolphin that is almost 2 metres high.
