September Intro Workshop in VT Welcomes a Range of Hardworking Wallers

The end of September brought together eighteen participants from around New England and the Mid-Atlantic to The Stone Trust Center for a 2-Day Intro.

Here are some words about the weekend from Instructor, Ethan Bodin:

Despite a very rainy and breezy weekend, enthusiasm stayed high throughout the 2-Day Intro Workshop. With tents set up over the wall, conditions were sometimes close and wet, but the group maintained a positive attitude and worked well together throughout the weekend.

On the first day, participants stripped down and began rebuilding the stone wall, with a strong focus on reviewing the basic principles of dry stone construction. Foundations were established and through courses were set as the wall began to take shape.
