Education is a cornerstone of The Stone Trust's vision. Historically, knowledge about the practical skills required to construct a dry stone wall was probably more common than it is today. Today, many people share an honest appreciation for the hard work involved as well as for aesthetic of a beautiful, sensible wall. But skill-based, hand-on knowledge for creating enduring structures... well, let's just say that, at The Stone Trust, we see a gold mine of opportunity.
Building and restoring stone walls can be deeply gratifying. Often, after a first day's introduction, a dry stone wall student may be smitten. The Stone Trust seeks to engage the waller in each of us. |
