Times Colonist:

People interested in the ancient craft of dry stone walling will have an opportunity to watch a build first-hand today.

Beginning Saturday morning, members of the Dry Stone Walling Association of Canada will erect and dismantle “a temporary art installation” near the dog walk area along Dallas Road.

“It basically will be a dry stone wall with a full arch inside it called a moon gate,” said Gavin Chamberlain, owner of Victoria-based Heritage Masonry.

Chamberlain, who learned the art of dry stone walling in North England, hopes to bring attention to what many consider a lost art.

Members of the public will be able to chat and ask questions as the four-foot by six-foot wall is built.
