The second DSWAC winter workshop held in Bethany Ontario incorporated using round granite stone and quarried granite to build two more sections of wall including a small gothic opening. The class was small enough that everyone got to have lots of individual hands on instruction. Students enjoyed not only the two days of stacking stone together but sharing meals together and seeing the works of other wallers and examples of many walls and dry stone structures in Scotland and Ireland.
