We have a rare opportunity for you to learn from the best stone craftsmen in the world. We will be hosting a dry stone wall course in partnership with Maxwell Stone in Collingwood and Dean McLellan Stonework

Mary Shaw-Rimmington THAT wall isn't in the UK — it's in Port Hope, Ontario on my property, mainly built by my husband, John Shaw-Rimmington,and appeared in Harrowsmith magazine (2004?) Pleased that you are advertizing the best wallers in the world using an image of my husband's work.

This photo, taken only yesterday is of that same section of my wall, built nearly ten years ago.
I'm pleased to announce that I too will be teaching a dry stone walling class at William Lyon Mackenzie's (past Prime Minister of Canada) huge country estate Kingsmere near Ottawa the nation's capital on July 27 and 28.
Please think about joining us.
