This hands-on introductory workshop using Vermont native stone is designed to teach homeowners and trades people the structural techniques involved in building and restoring a historic field stone wall. Participants will learn the correct dry stone walling techniques including safety, batter, hearting, throughs, and coping.

A tent will cover part of the work site as this is a rain or shine workshop. Participants need to bring gear for inclement weather, sturdy shoes, work gloves, and lunch. Safety goggles, tools, morning coffee, fresh-picked Scott Farm apples, and water will be provided.
