Masonry and stone carving are two trades inherently gifted with the “handing down” of knowledge, whether from father to son or master to apprentice, mentoring occurs on all levels in our daily work. StoneFest 2010 will notably celebrate father-son teams who are dedicated to this inherited knowledge of stone. We plan on building a challenging project - large stone beehive structure(s) in a traditional Irish style whilst incorporating contemporary design techniques, designed and built by father/son, mentor/apprentice teams together with participants of StoneFest 2010. A full list of presenters for 2010, including Patrick McAfee and Bobby Watt is available on the registration brochure.
2010 is the 6th annual Marenakos StoneFest, and marks a notable stepping stone for the event by inviting Building Stone Institute members to participate as part of the annual BSI Fall Study Tour. This gathering of international professionals within the stone industry will prove StoneFest 2010 to be a truly dynamic event. Visit www.buildingstoneinstitute.org for more information on the BSI.
Marenakos Rock Center has been “Connecting People to Stone” for three generations- however, the most valuable part of that story is Connecting People with People. Trow and Holden Company of Barre, Vermont, a cornerstone contributor to StoneFest is a five-generation company. Together we invite you to join in StoneFest 2010 with an international team of professionals. One week in September - knowledge for a lifetime.
