Twelve entusiastic students took part in our DSWAC workshop at HSAD in Haliburton. The task was to design and build a dry stone bench for Sir Sam Slick Park. The bench/boat idea evolved as we had the students experiment building with miniture stone pebble models in class, then survey the material that we had on site , and then consider the appropriate location for the boat and finally visit the quarry as part of a fieldtrip to undertand what extra special (random) shaped stones the project would require.

As in other years, there was a special children's walling activity again this year, both days at the Barriefield dry stone wall festival, involving the creating of lots of miniature 'dry pebble' walls, huts, and bridges. Parents were invited to watch, but really, this was a 'Kids Only' part of the festival.
