Steve LaRance is a stone sculptor and jeweler from Flagstaff, Arizona. (and he is Nakotah´s dad- lol). He had learned woodcarving from his uncles when he lived in the village of Moencopi on the Hopi Reservation. Carving Kachina figures—wooden representations of the hundreds of messenger spirits to the gods—was one possibility, but LaRance wanted more freedom of expression. “Kachina carvings have to look exactly right,” he says, “with just the right clothing and colors.” So LaRance decided to work in stone, a medium rarely used by Hopis.
From alabaster, marble, and limestone, LaRance creates forms that are both distinctively Hopi and uniquely his own. He also carves exquisite tiny stone animals decorated with feathers and shells. He calls these “effigies” to distinguish them from similar carvings called “fetishes” made by Zuni artists.
LaRance makes silver and gold jewelry, using a traditional Hopi technique called tufa casting. The design for the piece is carved in reverse into tufa, a soft volcanic stone, using precision dental tools. The two-part mold is assembled, then molten sterling silver or gold is poured in. The cooled casting is removed from the mold, bent into shape, finished, and polished.
LaRance is not only preserving traditions for the next generation but using his artistic skills to educate and delight people worldwide (which he did - I can tell!).

I took some pics of his arts. I´ll post them here soon. People in the Stuttgart area still can go and see his exhibition at the Linden-Museum! Steve and his wife do both show their works there.

I don´t think there is a website - cause he didn´t write it down. Well, I want to purchase a ring and want to ask him, if we could cooperate selling his jeweleries in Europe. I will find out and let you know.
