Set in Stone:
The Daniel Herbert Sculpture Prize 2021

This year marks 200 years since Governor Macquarie gave the name Ross to his camping place on the Macquarie River. Over the coming years, Ross would develop as a town with a long and proud tradition of working with its locally quarried sandstone. The fine-grained Ross stone was used in the construction of many of the town’s buildings, still so much a feature of Ross today.

Set in Stone is a sculpture competition and exhibition that aims to celebrate traditional techniques and forms. It is open to practiced sculptors and complete novices alike. In keeping with the work of Ross’ traditional stonemasons, entries must be completed using only hand tools. Entries must also be worked from the stone block supplied by the competition. All entrants who deliver a work for exhibition will be in the running for the Daniel Herbert Sculpture Prize.
