Gravestone preservation workshop
A four-day gravestone preservation workshop for beginners, organized by the Maine Old Cemetery Association, is scheduled for July 21-24 at the Gray Village Cemetery.
There is no registration fee, though donations are accepted. Attendees can either participate or stay an observer; however, it is limited to those who have not attended the workshop before.
Joe Ferrannini, a cemetery conservator at Grave Stone Matters in Hoosick Falls, New York, will lead the workshop, starting with an informative meeting Friday morning, followed by lunch and a walk around the cemetery. The next day, the workshop covers casting a new base, working with epoxies and mortars and more.
Taking part in all four days is the goal, but not a requirement.
Donations are encouraged to help cover expenses and support the association.
Visit moca-me.org to sign up and learn more.
Residents who would like to exclude a relative’s gravestone from the workshop can contact the Gray Cemetery Association at gray.maine.cemeteries@gmail.com or 657-4476.
