In our ninth episode of the series, we chat with Louise Price.

Louise is an artist, and passionate dry stone waller. In today's chat, Louise takes us through her fascinating journey from artist in Donegal to the renovation of her studio barn, which ultimately led to her keen interest in dry stone walling. We hear Louise's passion for the traditional craft, her love of vernacular buildings, the story behind the Mourne Wall and the Women's International Stone Alliance which she has helped to develop as a global network which is creating a strong presence and future for traditional stone trades through actively encouraging and supporting women’s participation
