Dry Stone Walling
Each dry stone design is inspired by available materials, the landscape, and purposeful requirements. No other structure connects with its environment as harmoniously as a dry stone feature. Every construction is a slow and unique process of blending and interlocking stones together using friction, gravitational forces and principles developed over hundreds of centuries throughout the world. These ancient techniques can be applied to both traditional and contemporary designs and most types of stone. "Walling to me is wholly engaging, it’s my gym, art class, mindfulness session and trip to the country rolled into one. It requires time, precision, patience, resilience and attention to detail. It connects the past with the future and delivers a beautiful sustainable structure and unrivalled sense of pride and satisfaction”. emma@stoneofarc.com www.stoneofarc.com |
