Service Description

Spend a full day learning the fundamentals of traditional drystone walling in a private one-to-one setting on your own site or project. This hands-on session is tailored entirely to your experience level — whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine existing skills. Working directly on your wall or feature, you’ll learn core techniques such as stone selection, laying, battering, hearting, and how to build structurally sound walling suited to your setting. Training is delivered in a practical, build-along format, allowing you to gain real experience while making meaningful progress on your project. Guidance is provided throughout the day, with plenty of time for questions, technique correction, and detailed instruction as you work. Travel within the local area is included; however, sites located further afield may incur additional mileage or accommodation costs where overnight stays are required. Ideal for homeowners, landowners, and property custodians looking to develop practical heritage craft skills while improving their own stonework.
