​About the Founder

Picture
Lorne Woods was on a residential construction site in Vancouver many years ago when he saw his first concrete countertop. Growing up, he spent as much time as he could in his late uncle's sculpture studio.

​I was lucky enough to have Jack Harman, the famous Canadian sculptor, to watch and learn from. Making molds and the process of creating something from common materials was something I always wanted to do, and when I found myself looking for a new challenge after selling my technology company, Liquid Quarry was born. Our pieces are the result.

Lorne learned his craft from the then masters of this relatively new way of using concrete. Now he travels yearly to share with peers at Plan B collaborative, a group that includes the original counter maker, Buddy Rhodes, all dedicated to evolving this craft. 

Lorne lives on the Cave Spring Vineyard in the Benchlands of the Niagara Peninsula  with his wife Karen (and four daughters when their schedules permit). Making concrete countertops is a far cry from his former life as CEO of a tech installation company.

Here are his thoughts about the craft he enjoys:

​John Cooke has been around concrete since a stint at Ryerson (Now Toronto Metropolitan University). After years of creating concrete slabs for sidewalks, driveways and floors, he decided to learn about finer concrete, taking some of the same courses Lorne Woods took over a decade before. Four years into fine concrete, he decided to create it full time, and is a welcome addition to the Liquid Quarry team. John's experience forming, welding and placing is invaluable at Liquid Quarry.
