We hope you enjoy browsing the site. Please feel free to: ~ sign up for a beginner's workshop ~ purchase "How To" and DVD products ~ contact Bill regarding custom stonework Bill's vision is to bring stonemasonry to the masses and provide an avenue for people interested in natural stonebuilding to network together. He is also available to give slideshows to libraries and garden clubs on landscaping using natural stone. This site has testimonials and photo albums from past workshops and short video documentaries of the St. Ann's Garden Club project posted on YouTube (see right). There are free plans to build your own stonecutting table like the ones Bill uses at his workshops (see left). Bill is always looking for unique stonebuilding projects and will consider travelling for high end quality stonework projects. |
