Learn a bit of the history of stone walls and our New England Heritage in this two day workshop with a master stone wall artisan and sculptor. The first class will journey to local sites to view Steven's designed and built stone work and review the necessary tools for the construction of a dry stone wall. Learn how to set stone, without mortar, from the base stone to the capping stone. In the process you will be taught to safely move stones from small to large, become familiar with the hammer and chisel for cutting stone, and train your eye to recognize and understand how shapes and textures of stone can come together to create a work of art.
