As much as I'd like to participate in the upcoming Stone Trust workshop, I will be out of the country in May. It promises to be a great workshop! Please contact Jared Flynn for more info.

DRY STONE WALLING WORKSHOP

Date: Saturday and Sunday, May 14, 15, 8AM – 4:30 PM

Location: Dutton Farm Road, Dummerston, Vermont

Instructors: Jared Flynn, Andrew Pighills

The two-day hands-on workshop is designed to teach homeowners and tradespeople the structural techniques involved in building and restoring a historic field stone wall. The outdoor classroom, provides the setting for practicing proper dry stone walling methods. Included in the workshop will be the age-old technique of splitting stone by use of pin and feathering. Knowledge gained will prepare students for their own projects and help train their eyes to identify proper walling techniques in all walls.
