Carruth Studio

Carruth Studio was born in 1983 in our Cleveland, Ohio, garage."Plant a Smile in Your Garden" has been our desire from the beginning. It all started when I carved a cherub face into a rough piece of sandstone using only screwdrivers. It was a gift to my wife Deborah who immediately placed it in the flower bed and saw the potential of hand carved stones as garden accents. We started by participating in art festivals and selling to galleries. Commissions included The National Cathedral in Washington D.C, an ornament for the White House Christmas tree, Home and Garden Television, Botanical Gardens and even a few gravestones. Later we began casting smaller images that were sold in craft shops and appeared in a variety of mail order catalogs. Attention to detail and unique imagery landed them on the coveted covers of at least 13 catalogs. Our classic and lighthearted designs are now some of the most collected sculptures in America. Deb and I, and our employees, believe it is truly a privilege to make art that touches so many lives-for such a variety of reasons. Each Carruth Studio piece is: • Original and copyrighted • Designed by nationally renowned sculptor, George Carruth • Hand cast in stone • Hand finished with a patina wash to accentuate the detail • Collectible • Gift boxed • Made in the USA
