Welcome to Set in Stone! My name is Greg Ray, and I am the proud owner and artisan behind this unique venture. Nestled in central Texas, my business is deeply inspired by the charming character of one of our cities, Hutto, the only one in the United States to boast a hippo as its mascot.

My journey into the world of statuary began in 2016 when I poured my first hippo statue. It all started with a simple desire to create something special for our garden, a unique piece that would represent our beloved Hippo Nation. Encouraged by my wife and fueled by my passion for creativity, what began as a personal project soon grew into a small business dedicated to bringing joy and uniqueness to gardens and homes across the community.

While hippos hold a special place in my heart and my work, I also enjoy creating a variety of other statues. From whimsical animals to custom pieces tailored to your vision, each statue I create is a labor of love, meticulously crafted in my spare time. I take great pride in my work, ensuring that every piece reflects the charm and character that makes Hutto so special.

Whether you're looking for a distinctive addition to your garden or a one-of-a-kind gift, my statues are made to bring a smile to your face. I truly appreciate your interest in my work. Please note that as a small, part-time business, I strive to complete orders as quickly as possible. Your patience and understanding are greatly valued as I dedicate myself to delivering quality, handcrafted statues.

Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to sharing a piece of my creativity with you!
