Women’s Workshop Success

Our 2nd annual women’s workshop was huge success on Saturday April 30th.  Kim Coggin from Johnstown PA and Jo Hodgson from Ottawa Canada were the two Certified Instructors.  Hillary Dees also volunteered, making it the first time that all three certified Level 2 women wallers from North America were together.

We had 16 participants who took down and rebuilt over 240 sq ft (480 face sq ft) of dry stone wall in just one day.  That is approximately 16 ton’s of stone…. moved at least twice.
