Announcing a Series of Dry-stack Stone Wall Workshops in March!
Published Wednesday, Feb 18, 2015
Have you always wanted to know how to build a dry-stack stone wall?
Well here is your chance to learn! Participants will learn the beautiful ancient art and skill of building a dry-stack stone wall, while leaving behind a stone wall legacy at SEEDS. The workshop series spans over 3 weekends in March. You can join us for one weekend, however we recommend all 3. That way you have the time and attention to polish your skill set with the guidance and expertise of Whitney Brownstone, an expert mason instructor who has built this type of wall for years in Wales.
