Description

Imagine yourself in an authentic family-owned olive grove surrounded by traditional dry stone walls. You look at them and wonder how they stand on their own. Only a stone on top of another stone?

In Ana's 2-hour dry stone workshop you'll find out how it really works. We begin with a short introduction to the importance of stone in Dalmatian heritage, the UNESCO protection of dry stone walling technique, and the basic principles of dry stone construction. After the introduction, you will have the opportunity to learn by doing and build with stone under Ana’s guidance.

For this workshop, wear sturdy shoes and bring a cap or hat, sunglasses, and plenty of positive energy.

And immerse yourself in the Dalmatian way of working and enjoying life.
