Steven Carpenter, Instructor,

Journey to local sites to view Steven’s designed and built stone work, review the necessary tools for the construction of a dry stone wall, and visit a quarry to select interesting and appropriate stone. Learn how to set stone, without mortar, from the base stone to the capping stone. In the process you will be taught to safely move stones from small to large, become familiar with the hammer and chisel for cutting stone, and train your eye to recognize and understand how shapes and textures of stone can come together to create a work of art.
SA 30B, Bentwood Garden Creations Workshop, Shane Chick, Instructor, Saturday July 7, 10 – 2
Our Maine forests are full of interesting and beautiful materials that can be used to create a wide range of garden accents. Shane Chick can teach you how easy it is to take full advantage of these materials to make an arbor, trellis or bean climber with nothing more than the materials you find, some twine and a pair of common garden shears.. This one day workshop should get you on the road toward a fanciful garden full of bentwood sculpture. Enthusiastic participants in Shane's previous one day workshop created a beautiful trellis and a variety of structures for plants to climb. Our chickens loved this construction by Ruby Jones.
