SEBASTIAN SHAKESPEARE: Prince Charles hails dry stone walls as works of art
After starting gardening, the Prince of Wales confessed that he had spoken to plants and trees to make them grow.
Now I can show that he showed an equally eccentric view of the humble stone wall.
He has extolled them as works of art, although for most farmers they are just a limit.
At the start of London Craft Week this month, he highlighted drywall rather than leatherwork, handbags, glass engraving, or face mask sewing lessons.
Charles adds that mastering the craft of drywall requires “a keen eye, artistic instinct, and a lot of practice”.
He is believed to be preparing to promote hedges in the West Country that fell into disrepair during the pandemic
“From my point of view, a drywall is not only something inherently practical that will last for generations, but also a form of sculpture,” says Charles.
Craft aficionados have joked that this interest may have put Charles on the wall while advocating traditional crafts.

Charles adds that mastering the craft of drywall requires “a keen eye, artistic instinct, and a lot of practice”.

“It’s difficult,” he admitted when invited to help build a wall in the Cotswold town of Northleach.
“I don’t know what it is, but I can never get it fit.”

The retail guru says employee mental health will suffer from the absence of colleagues.
