Wings of Knowledge welcomes Kevin Gardner

On Tuesday, April 28, at 6 p.m. in the Library Living Room, NHTI will present the final event in its series of free public Wings of Knowledge lectures for the 2014-15 season: “Discovering Stone Walls,” with Kevin Gardner.  

Gardner will speak on a few of the main topics of his book about New England stone walls, The Granite Kiss (Countryman Press), touching on history, technique, stylistic development and aesthetics. He explains how and why New England came to acquire its thousands of miles of stone walls, the ways in which they and other dry stone structures were built, how their styles emerged and changed over time, and their significance to the famous New England landscape.

Launched in 2001-02, Wings of Knowledge is an annual series of cultural events presented by the college. All events are free and open to the public.  The series supports and expands upon NHTI’s wide variety of academic offerings, and is another element in the college’s expanding community college mission. 

For further information, call 230-4028.
