SPRINGFIELD, Vt. – It’s time to think about gardening, and what adds more to a landscape than a stonewall or other structure made from stone? Join us at the Springfield Town Library on Wednesday, April 11 at 6:30 p.m., for an evening with stone master craftsman, Dan Snow. A master craftsman with the Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain and the Dry Stone Conservation, Snow’s 40-year career of creating in free stone has taken him across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Scandinavia. A native Vermonter, Snow has authored two books, “In the Company of Stone” and “Listening to Stone,” which have helped spark a recent renaissance in American stone work. The film, “Stone Rising” documents his creative process. stone art A collection of stone art pieces. Photo provided. From serviceable retaining walls to gravity-defying landscape features, Dan Snow has designed and built hundreds of site-specific, dry stone constructions. In his presentation, Snow will lead the audience through the process of bringing a dry stone art piece to life in the landscape. From conceptualizing a design in modeling clay to creating an arresting experience in the natural environment, every aspect of constructing a unique landform will be covered. A timeless space embraced by natural stone is Snow’s goal in making art that is of, and for, its world place. This presentation is co-sponsored by the Springfield Garden Club, the Friends of the Springfield Town Library, and the Springfield Town Library. Come to the Springfield Town Library, 43 Main Street, Springfield Vt., to be inspired by Dan Snow’s wonderful work on Wednesday, April 11, at 6:30 p.m. This program is free, accessible to people with disabilities, and open to the public.
