Valeriano Jaurrieta works with natural stone in the locality of Olite, in a workshop he runs together with his wife. In this workshop, they extract the stone from the quarry in blocks, and then the cutting and roughening of the stone is carried out with… modern tools. Parting from these blocks, the carving and manual work of the artisan comes in and takes the protagonist role. This implies onsite measuring, the drawing of templates and the elaboration of pieces such as sculptures, coats of arms or replacement of old pieces, columns, gargoyles or pinnacles in religious or civil buildings. In the field of the replacement of elements, Valeriano has worked hard in order to create replicas of stone pieces for various restoration works for monuments in Navarra.
