Surely ecocide must one day be treated comparably to genocide.

Ocean with David Attenborough is a softly-spoken sledgehammer A quiet voice with seismic impact, David Attenborough confronts destruction with clarity, wisdom, and hope.

Oceans rise; empires fall; fashions come and go. But the mighty David Attenborough remains, says @lukebuckmaster.bsky.social.

Attenborough confronts destruction with clarity, wisdom, and hope in a powerful new doco assessing the devastating global impact of overfishing.

Arran seabed restoration championed by Sir David Attenborough As governments gather at the UN Oceans Conference, protections off Arran are hailed as an example in restoration.

Proud to say that these two incredible folk are part of my community. Thanks to their persistence and crucially, desire to share the beauty of the seabed around us, we have a No Take Zone and a Marine Protected Area off the coast of Arran. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#lewisiangneiss is a wonderful material to work with. Here in a fabulous local wall.
Thankfully diamond tools enable us to produce small delicate forms from this mass of metamorphic marvel and we pride ourselves on being the first to carve earrings from stone more typically used as aggregate #gneiss

Olivine is beautiful to work.
This is the Hebridean Greenstone and every fragment is precious.

#GneissThings Keystones
Carved from a variety of ancient Hebridean materials are available from various spots in #Scotland
Each is individually carved following the same pattern language but everyone different in dimension.

If you are a professional carver in the Outer Hebrides it’s compulsory to carve a Lewis chess piece.
This is one we carved using the tonal bands of Lewisian Gneiss to add depth.
Available currently in our studio.
