Abbiati Monuments has teamed up with the Brattleboro Floral Arts and Garden Club’s participation in the Vermont Cobble Project.
The Garden Club is selling Cobbles as a fund raiser – to maintain the Creamery Bridge Gardens.
The Vermont Cobble Project is an ongoing effort with the Brattleboro Floral Arts & Garden Club to create Green Spaces that the community has a part in. Our first Cobble Project will be creating Cobbles for the Brattleboro Creamery Bridge Garden. Go to the Garden Club site, VermontGardenClubs.org and click Projects/Cobble Project for all the details.
Here is a small sampling of our work. These are the cobbles in the sand blasting room. They are covered with a plastic film that exposes the lettering for the cobbles. You can see the lettering in the cobble on the right. For efficiency we sandblast several item at a time. Notice the claw feet for a bathtub!After the Sand-Blasting process is complete, the plastic is removed and the recessed letters are hand 
painted – for better viewing. The paint used is very durable and will last for a long long time.

It is so much fun to see the cobbles being created. Tom Carleton, currently works in our Keene Monuments office. He is a talented Fabricator who explained how the cobble engraving is done.
