“I want to congratulate the sculptor, John Rubino, and his team of apprentices...on their outstanding work... What an excellent educational experience for these students.”

“Congratulations, These kids are inspired, who knows where it may take them, but it has been a good experience for them.”

“The sculpture project taught me how to work within a group while maintaining my own individuality. The project also showed me that I can do things I’ve never dreamed of if I only apply myself and give it all I have. John gave me the skills I needed, then let me have the artistic freedom to create.”

“It was a very positive experience for the students and for the school and community. John’s sculptures enhance the beauty of Vermont, and the citizens of Morrisville are fortunate to have his work displayed in the town.”

“Working with John has been an extremely formative experience. I don’t remember what I wanted to be when I was little, but from the moment I started working with him in his shop, I wanted to be an engineer. John has the patience and curiosity to entertain a crazy project, the creativity to find an elegant solution, and the experience and knowledge to fabricate the final product. He has always supported me and been a person I’ve been able to count on for advice. I’m not sure where I would be without him.”
