Crawia are a form of fence typical to the slate quarrying areas of North-west Wales. Made from waste slate (‘craw’), they stand with their feet buried in the earth, each slate linked to the next with fencing wire that wends its way before and behind them as a weft does to a warp.

@julianbrasington Gorgeous print! Here in New England we have stone walls, with rocks carefully placed and held together with nothing more than gravity. My property has a lot of slate. I save the best (large/smooth) pieces because I hope to etch them when I have time.
@LilPecan Thank you very much. Stone walls are a lovely thing too, and etching onto slate sounds like a great idea.
