Sculptor builds on tradition
Johnny Clasper, from Harrogate, has completed his first organic free-form wall and has claimed that he is on a mission to “re-invent the way people design their gardens”.
He added: “Dry stone walling doesn’t use cement or any form of bonding material at all, so it’s a craft that requires a lot of patience and skill to create that perfect combination of weight versus gravity.

His work will feature in an exhibition at the Thorp Perrow Arboretum near Bedale.
