See Gone, But Not Forgotten and Local Artists
The business represented the culmination of Mr. Howe's 20 years experience in the field. Rug sculpting is an ancient art that has been practiced for thousands of years. There are only 600 total carpet sculptors in our country.
Howe's work has been featured in Barney's New York, Metropolitan Home, and the television show "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous". The quality of his work commands rates as high as $1,000 for a single day's labor.
Geoffrey used to say: Check out our Vocational Programs and unique Logo work. Great for Auto also. Homes of distinction will appreciate being able to match wallpaper or china patterns in carpet.
