Fathom Stone Art Gallery Whistler

We signed up for the sandstone carving class and Jon was so accommodating and experienced from start to finish. I loved talking to him, it went by too fast. My daughter was so happy with finished piece of jewelry. Thank you so much!

What an incredible experience for my art-loving kids at the Fathom Stone Art Gallery, located on level 1 of the Westin Resort & Spa hotel. During the stone carving class, Jon was incredibly patient, generously sharing his experience and many technical stone-carving techniques. He also had on hand all the equipment under the sun required to carve the desired details into the soap stone. What an incredible memory my kids will enjoy for many many years to come ❤️. The art gallery itself also included beautiful works by many different local artists. If you're nearby, or love sculptures I highly recommend a visit! Thank you Jon!!

Terrific experience with artist & instructor Jon, for my Stone Carving Class. An extensive selection of carving tools combined with Jon's engaging instruction made for a great afternoon. Highly recommended for both kids and adults!

Gorgeous gallery!! Awesome collection of carvings, sculptures and jewelry. Jon is extremely knowledgeable and professional. My daughter took a stone class... she told everyone she encoutered how excited she was beforehand, and raved about it after! Besides her beautiful creation, Jon helped her quickly turn a simple rock into a pendant she's so proud of. We'll be checking in again on our next Whistler trip for certain!

Unexpected highlight of our ski trip was carving our own Inukshuk! John was awesome and while it wasn’t always easy the process is so rewarding. Weirdly, I think theirs may be one of the highlights of out trip!

Our kids had a great time taking the stone carving art class with John. He was a great instructor and very attentive to all their questions and curiosities. A memorable 2 hour spent learning and creating custom art pieces that they took home.

The soapstone classes with Jon were recommended by a friend and so my daughters and I chose the carved Innushuk class. This was the highlight in an awesome trip to Whistler. Jon was super patient as he explained the process to my kids and they loved every second of it. The class was meant to be 2 hours - the girls and I were so engrossed that we took closer to 4 hours, but Jon never once hurried us along. We all ended up with totally unique mementos of our time there and they can’t wait to come back and carve an animal. Highly recommend these classes for anyone who is wanting a cool creative experience.

I had a soap stone carving session with Jackson today and it was fantastic. He was so helpful and encouraging through the process and gave me confidence that my sculpture would be great. It turned out super! Was a great indoor activity! Highly recommend.

An amazing experience for 12 year old. So glad she took the time inside to create a forever keepsake. Amazing process that took her close to 3 hours but you can't rush the process! Charles was very patient and kind and offered just enough support when needed. Pieces offered for sale in the gallery are amazing as well!

The Fathom Stone Art Gallery & Studio has a lot of really interesting sculptures and other artwork. Much of it is carved from Brucite - a stone I was not familiar with until my visit to Fathom. The stuff here is really pricy, but it is also really high quality and well made. Very artistic and cool! A lot of thought, time, blood, sweat, tears, and love has gone into these creations. My favorites included a number of carvings of Bears, trout, and salmon. We met Jon Fathom, the owner of the shop. He took a good bit of his time to explain to us how things are carved, where they obtain the Brucite, and some of the work that goes into his pieces. He has many other pieces of art and sculpture available for sale from other artists as well. I would love to own some of the Bear carvings, but they are out of my price range. But I still appreciate them for their beauty and the craftsmanship that when into them! Very enjoyable!
