Thea Alvin, a Stone Mason in touch with Nature

Join Thea on a two-week course in Italy to learn about the preservation, restoration, and adaptive re-use of historic vernacular masonry buildings in the Piedmont region. You will analyze and document existing structures and devise strategies and designs for the re-use of selected buildings while maintaining their historic features. Studio design time will be supplemented with hands-on construction on projects within the village. Dancing around the globe. Water gong.
