Dry Stone Masonry

A quiet yet remarkable contribution to a unique landscape. Join us for a captivating presentation by Jamie Masefield, a Vermont-based dry-stone mason. With a background as a professional jazz musician, Jamie infuses his stonework with a unique improvisational spirit. He perceives the composition of irregular natural stones much like the improvisation of a jazz tune. By consciously avoiding the use of mortar and concrete, Jamie crafts enduring stone walls, foundations, and sculptures that depend solely on gravity, friction, and integrity. Through his presentation, Jamie will share how the fusion of craftsmanship and heritage can transform landscapes, providing viewers with fresh inspiration for incorporating stone into their home gardens.
