Karl Gifford knows stone. He knows how to identify it, size it and build with it. Join Karl Gifford of Sebago Stoneworks at Tear Cap Workshops on October 25 for a full-day workshop about arranging stone into stable, attractive structures that can serve a variety of uses--as landscape accents, retaining walls, or garden borders. Enjoy a Scottish-style lunch, included in course fee. If you like gaining practical skills, working cooperatively, and taking part in a historically valuable activity, register now. Class is limited to 7 participants.
