Dates of first SFA Soapstone Quarry tour announced
The SFA former Executive Director and current workshops director, Dan Riccolo, announced on Friday that SFA joined forces with Alberene Soapstone Co. in Virginia to host the first ever SFA Soapstone Quarry Tour and hands-on fabrication workshop at the Alberene facility.
The Alberene Soapstone Co. is the only American Soapstone quarry, and for many fabricators, this product will qualify for LEED points. The reopening of this quarry will bring jobs back to the U.S. and affords Americans an opportunity to "buy American." A short history of the Alberene Soapstone Company can be found on its Web site.
