This workshop is perfect for the homeowner, landscaper, mason, or enthusiast looking to start learning about how to build dry stone walls or to improve their skills.

Over the course of the the weekend each participant will build 35 sq. ft. of wall (one side), using primarily flat ledge stone. Introductory participants will learn all the basics of structural walling, while building a straight section of free standing dry stone wall. Experienced participants can work on building a wall end, also known as a cheek end. The knowledge taught in this workshop can be applied to nearly any type of stone and dry stone walling project, including retaining walls.

This workshop will take place at the Vermont Granite Museum in Barre, VT. The site is prepared for an ideal learning environment. There is plenty of time during the two day workshop for questions about your specific projects, learning stone shaping basics, and even splitting stones using feathers and wedges. While you're there be sure to check out the museum too!

The workshop will run 9:00 am-5:00 pm with a 1/2 hour lunch break on Saturday and Sunday. This workshop is open to everyone.
