Ornamental Slate Art

If you enjoy ornamental slate work, you should follow Hans Peter-Koennecke on Facebook. He is the head of the Master Roofers school in Cologne, Germany and posts tremendous pictures of awesome roofs and slate art.

I’m blown away by the detail of these pieces and applaud the hard work. I know not everyone in the US follows Hans on facebook so I wanted to show what wonderful work the Handwerkskammer zu Köln produces. I apologize ahead of time if I incorrectly title or give credit to the wrong person because it is being translated from German.
