My grandfather did ceramics, wood carving, metalwork, and painting as well as conte crayon, pastels, and making signs.

Wow! Sounds talented! I always found stuff like that more intimidating than drawing. I'd like to try it sometime, though.

Unfortunately, my talent is best in graphite pencil.

That's kind of how I feel about my drawing: I have a couple mediums I'm comfortable with but I wish I had a broader range so I could do some stuff I can't do with the range of tools I'm proficient in now. But I'm learning.

Yes he was.
Unfortunately, I do not have any of his ceramic work in my possession.
I have a few of his sketches, and one or three paintings.
And some stuff from my grandmother.
But the metal work, and the signs he painted I do not have any examples of, as for woodwork, I have 4 examples of it.
