'Beyond The House' (near Ottawa) hosted a DSWAC dry stone wall workshop in Crysler Ontario.
Read an article about the completed workshop held near where the new MacDougall bridge in Russell Ontario was built last year.
This upcoming October promises to be an exciting one. We not only have the renowned Rocktoberfest scheduled, but also an all-night sculpture installation at Trinity Bellwoods Park. October 2nd, from 7pm to 7am, we will build a 9 foot Drystone Bell in Trinity Bellwoods park on Queen Street, Toronto. We are looking for eager volunteers, both experienced builders, enthusiasts to speak with the public, and novices to help move material and learn about hearting. This will be an excellent opportunity as a refining experience for those who have already taken a course, or a novel introduction to the art for those who have never got their hands dirty with dry stone. If you are interested in participating in this once in a lifetime opportunity please contact Evan Oxland at: oxland@msn.com
