March 2015. DSWA member, Brian Fairfield assembled a group to create an impressive entrance to the Boston Flower Show. Attendee's were able to walk through it upon arrival.

Enthusiastically joined a group of wallers in October of 2023 and 2019 to journey to Canna, a small island in the Inner Hebrides off of Scotland to repair historic walls that are functional and essential to the one farm on the island. This process of repairing failed sections of a wall is called “gapping” and is an excellent learning experience for any North American waller as we get firsthand experience seeing how traditional walls have been built and why they have failed in certain spots. There were several different styles of wall on the island including some magnificent “Galloway" walls.

In 2022 and 2023, Jamie has been fortunate to join Brian Post and Standing Stone LLC in the massive project of restoring the famous sculpture park, Opus 40 in Saugerties, NY. The 6.5 acre earthwork sculpture was built by one man, Harvey Fite over the course of 37 years. It's constructed entirely of bluestone from the premises. The non profit park welcomes over 35,000 visitors a year to the beautiful Hudson Valley destination.

Assisted Master craftsman, Dan Snow in creating a dry stone sculpture titled "The Stone Eye,”. The ground at the center of the eye is a two-grave family cemetery plot. A 10’ long corbelled passage leads under the brow of the eye to an open-air chamber. The oblong, solid stone mound is 8’ high.

Professional Wallers from around the world came together at The Stonewurx Stone Festival in Hanover, Ontario Canada in 2011 to assist Dean Mclellan in the construction of this dry laid stable.

The Orb and Serpent provided a one of a kind entrance to the Boston Flower and Garden Show in 2016. Designed and organized by DSWA member Brian Fairfield, these features illustrate the variety of interesting things that can be done with stone. The Serpent is constructed with a Herringbone pattern that is not uncommon in Cornwall UK. The intermittent white stones are called "Through Stones” which are placed for structural stability rather than for decoration. Group projects create community for craftspeople that generally work alone during the work year. Sharing ideas keeps the craft moving forward.
