Join us for a free hands-on outdoor workshop focused on maintaining Little Compton’s historic dry stone walls. Led by experienced stonewaller Luke Driver, this 3-hour session is designed for adults interested in both the heritage and practical techniques of traditional stone walling.
Not ready to lift stones? No problem!
If you’re interested in learning but not physically able to participate, please come along to watch. Observers are welcome and encouraged – there’s plenty to see, hear, and learn!
What You’ll Learn
• The rich history of dry stone walling in New England and its European roots
• Safety practices and proper body mechanics for working with stone
• Basic techniques for diagnosing and repairing single-stack fieldstone walls
Participants will observe live demonstrations, practice in small teams, and have the opportunity to work on their own section of wall. No experience necessary, and observers are welcome.
This workshop is open to all above aged 10, whether you're eager to build or simply curious to learn more about this centuries-old craft.
All skill levels and physical abilities are encouraged to join. This is an inclusive, educational, and engaging experience for everyone.
