Dry stone construction, the ancient craft of building enduring stone structures without mortar, was widely practiced in frontier America. Skilled masons from across Europe built houses, barns, harbor piers, canal locks, and many other kinds of structures from local stone. The mission of the nonprofit Dry Stone Conservancy is to: revive and maintain the ancient craft of dry-laid stone masonry construction; conserve existing dry stone structures through preservation, repair and reconstruction, and: advocate for public education and awareness on the history and craft of dry stone construction. One of the means by which the Conservancy's goals are accomplished is through its restoration and training activities. The Conservancy offers introductory workshops for the general public, advanced training for aspiring drystone masons, and a certification program and masons registry. The Conservancy also offers on-site consultations, restoration and new construction supervision, design and advice by a Certified Dry Master Craftsman and a registered Landscape Architect, technical information and instructional publications.

The Northwest Stone Sculptors Association (NWSSA) began gathering at an annual stone carving fest over 20 years ago in the pacific northwest. We have since grown to include stone sculptors and associates from throughout the western US, Canada, and other parts of the world. One of the main things that keeps us together is the fantastic open-to-all stone carving symposiums held in the spring, summer, and fall. These events draw between 25 to 75 people for a week or more in beautiful rural areas of Washington and Oregon. Lodging and camping right there. You can expect a fun, supportive, and productive good time. College credit sometimes available through University of Oregon. Scholarships and work-study opportunities are sometimes available. NWSSA also publishes a bimonthly journal, SCULPTURE NORTHWEST, with articles on the art of stone carving, featured artists, and events.
