My name is "McQuarry" and I create functional art with stone. The stone of choice is soapstone but I will work in other stones as well.
The soapstone I use is quarried less than 50 miles from my studio. This translates into better selection, lower freight charge and may qualify for LEED points.
I also have access to many different American Quarried stones if you are looking for an alternative to imported stone for your project.

Oct 18, 2020After 4 tries, I’m finally back in FL and able to review the trivets. They are just what I had hoped for. Thank you!

May 14, 2019Mark McQuarry was the perfect solution for the custom pieces of soapstone I needed! Just a note for those out there looking for the same thing- soapstone is pretty hard to find, and even if you do find some at a place that has some- you'll need to get them to cut it and fabricate it. So cut to the chase and just order your pieces from Mark. He is perfectly set up to make these- and you'll save a lot of time and hassle. Mark was also expedient, and shipped the beautifully finished pieces to me in the most efficient manner possible. Thanks Mark!
