After serving as a deep-sea diver in the U.S. Navy, Luke earned a BA in history from Brown University and a master’s in public education administration.While building a career in public education, Luke kept stonewalling as a side business. In 2019, he left education to return to his roots as a full-time stonewaller. Now semi-retired, Luke is certified by the Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain and actively advocates for the preservation of historic stone walls. He’s passionate about passing on his skills to the next generation. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/little-compton/stone-wall-workshop/100001985522743976 - **Event Categories**: Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Little Compton - **state**: RI - **country**: United States - **location**: 51 Willow Ave - **lat**: 41.5266394 - **long**: -71.1709431 - **full address**: 51 Willow Ave, 51 Willow Avenue, Little Compton, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Stone Wall Workshop - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/529203fa3c3e9180cd2c25c17d1f58856dd83fa70904c634ba2ccb3562beb237-rimg-w1200-h900-dc788b94-gmir.jpg?v=1774972947 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Stone Wall Workshop being held? - **A:** Stone Wall Workshop takes place on Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 09:30 am to Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 12:00 pm at 51 Willow Ave, 51 Willow Avenue, Little Compton, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Stone Wall Workshop? - **A:** Stone Wall Workshop is organized by Sakonnet Preservation. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
