Learn a bit of the history of stone walls and our New England heritage with stone wall artisan and sculptor Steven Carpenter. Be a member of a hands-on crew that takes part in the construction of a dry stone wall. This course does not take a great deal of brawn, but can be physical at times. 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. The first class will journey to local sites to view Steven's designed and built stone work and review the necessary tools for purchase.
