Instruction will address the proper use of various masonry tools, the basics of structural masonry without mortar, and reference design features with SketchUp. The group will collaborate to build a dry stone feature collectively. There will be a strong emphasis on using local stone and designing projects according to the material at hand. No human-made materials such as manufactured stone or gabion cages will be utilized. Discussions and references will also include dry stone walling and various other manifestations of dry-laid work including ovens, fireplaces, fire pits, gates, cairns, benches, bridges and arches.
