Stone is a paradox—a solid, heavy material that can nonetheless bring a sense of natural movement into a space. A delicate, repetitive pattern that recalls falling rain; a surface marked by dramatic, irregular streaks of color, or the swirl of storm clouds can all be part of a room when they are captured in the inherent markings of stone.
Join us for an exclusive local chapter meeting featuring an insightful CEU, "The Art of Specifying Natural Stone," presented by the Natural Stone Institute and proudly sponsored by Vermont Quarries. This presentation provides architects and designers with an essential framework for selecting, evaluating, and implementing premium natural stone. Discover the craftsmanship behind sourcing historic American materials directly from the experts at Vermont Quarries, operators of the world's largest underground marble quarry.
Attendees will learn how to navigate unique color variations, assess diverse finish options, plan for the long-term longevity of their installations, and accurately evaluate critical material pricing factors. This event offers a unique opportunity for design professionals looking to confidently align structural standards with their creative design intent. Complimentary food and beverages will be served throughout the evening, offering an excellent opportunity to network with fellow industry peers.
