JAPANESE STONEWORK

Throughout the month of May, Tomas Lipps will travelling with his wife Miwako (aka Mimi) through Japan photographing stonework, stone sculpture, quarries and gardens for a photo feature in a future issue of STONEXUS Magazine and will share these photos with those attending the Symposium.

He may also be showing a selection of photographs pertaining to a subject that is developing into a thematic feature of this Symposium: stone bridges. Besides Dan Snow's presentations of the stone bridges of Norway and Vermont, Jane Wooley and Neil Rippingale's presentation of a major Dry Stone Conservancy project, individuals involved in Vermont Historical Preservation will be attending and may be presenting as well.

Tomas is a born-again stonemason, the Stone Foundation's Founder and 'Fearless Figurehead.' and the editor of STONEXUS
