Once a dream… now a reality! Ground Effects Landscapes of Hanover is proud to bring this one-of-a-kind and rare build to our community.

 

The Stonewurx International Dry Stone Walling Festival will host some of the world’s best Master Craftsmen to share their skills and promote the ancient craft of dry stone masonry. Over the three day event, instructors and students will test their skills at building this permanent and rare stone stable using only their ability to lay stones in harmony with each other. The Dry Stone Walling technique does not use any mortar to bind the stones together, and with the addition of an authentic Green Roof - the result is a creation of true beauty that lasts a lifetime!

Celebrity Master Craftsmen will build alongside their students teaching “hands-on” the old craft of dry stone walling. Anyone who is interested in stone, stone work or stone art is invited to sign up and take advantage of this one-of-a kind learning experience.

 

Due to the nature of this ancient craft, we feel it deserves to be celebrated and shared with the entire community. So in celebration we open the site of this rare build to everyone to come watch and learn, and take part in the many other on-site activities including; local artisans, entertainment tent, and children’s activities.

 

We encourage EVERYONE to take advantage of this one-of-a-kind opportunity!!! Come as a student and learn the basic dry stone technique from professionals, or come as a guest to witness and celebrate in a relaxing environment amongst the many wallers who come from all over the world!
