Dry Stone Work of Art
I thought you might be interested in a workshop held recently at the English Harbour Arts Centre in English Harbour, Trinity Bay. I was among seven participants in the five-day event led by Dan Snow from Vermont who showed us the techniques involved in dry stone construction. He is internationally renowned in the field and is already planning a return engagement for next year, having fallen under the spell of English Harbour and not minding the odd interuption from breaching whales as well as curious moose! I have attached two photos of the results of our labours. One shows the whale vertebrae in front of the Centre. The other shows a wave-like structure built nearby. It could be seen as a seascape or perhaps nets strung between pickets. Anyone interested can do a websearch for Dan Snow or contact the English Harbour Arts centre at 709-464-2424.
