Day 1 (8am–5pm): Stone Carving
Spend the first day learning traditional and artistic stone carving techniques under the guidance of an experienced instructor. You’ll explore tools, material selection, layout, and carving methods while creating your own carved piece.

Day 2 (8am–5pm): Dry Stone Walling
On the second day, shift from fine detail to structural craft as you learn the fundamentals of dry stone walling. Instruction covers stone selection, wall layout, stability, and traditional building techniques, with hands-on construction throughout the day.

What’s Included:

• Shared breakfast and lunches are included during the workshop. Explore local restaurants for dinner.
• Accommodations provided Thursday and Friday nights
• Check-out on Saturday at 5pm

This workshop offers a rare opportunity to learn two complementary stone crafts in one weekend—building both artistic skill and structural understanding in a collaborative, immersive setting.
