Canterbury Shaker Village to Host Stone Wall Workshop
On Saturday, June 29, and Sunday, June 30, Canterbury Shaker Village will host its popular Stone Wall Workshop, a two-day experience in which participants help restore sections of deteriorating stone walls.
“It’s a chance to preserve history and have fun doing it,” said Education Manager Kyle Sandler, who noted the hands-on workshop will be led by master stone artisan and mason Kevin Fife. “He is incredibly talented and knowledgeable, so it’s an experience that keeps people coming back year after year.”
Registration is $250 and $150 for new and prior participants, respectively. The workshop includes materials and lunch each day. To enroll in the Village’s Stone Wall Workshop on June 29/30, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., visit shakers.org.
