All About Slate Rods

I’ve been cutting up slate into rods on my wet saw this week, making sure I have enough for an upcoming residential course, as well as for adding to my mosaic kits. And as I stood there all kitted out in my overalls and safety gear, getting messy, the thought ‘why do I bother with this?’ crossed my mind. Afterall, there are other (much less messy) ways to prepare slate.

I have my reasons for doing this though, and I thought I’d share a bit more about them today, along with some general hints and tips for cutting and working with slate rods.
