My Experience at a New England All-Female Stone Masonry Workshop
At an all-women stone-wall building workshop in Vermont, I discovered a tradition as rich in camaraderie as it is in craftsmanship. Stone walls are often taken for granted until you try to build one yourself. I realized this while attempting to lift a large stone, reminiscent of a small child, five feet off the ground. After a full day dedicated to wall building, my arms were weary despite my unwavering determination.
