Under the shade of a tent at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, two sculptors from Zimbabwe chiseled and filed, turning blocks of stone into works of art.
"It's hotter here," Brighton Layton remarked as he hammered a chisel to see what the stone would reveal to him."It will just come as you go. All you need is a starting point!"
"We work with about 300 different Zimbabwean sculptors in Zimbabwe. We're trying to raise awareness of this amazing art form," ZimSculpt Founder Vivienne Croisette said."They can see a part of Africa that they might not know about."
