Stone Carving Festival & Legacy Dry Stone Bridge - Summer 2016 - Perth
From July 22 - 24, 2016, stone carvers from Canada, the U.S. and Europe gathered in Perth, Ontario to display their skills and creativity at the 7th annual Canadian Stone Carving Festival created by Smith & Barber-Sculpture Atelier Inc.
The public auction of the completed works raised over $10,000.00 for Habitat for Humanity. Check out the gallery of works and familiar faces!
Dry Stone Canada, including wallers from the UK, US, and across Canada built a beautiful dry stone bridge in Perth. Our Masonry students cut and shaped the voissoirs - surrounding the carved keystones.
