Private workshops for homeowners
Have a group of friends or relatives that are interested in learning to build? A custom workshop may be right for you. Workshops can be arranged at one of our locations or your property. If your goal is learning this is a great option. For this type of custom workshop we do not advertise or handle individual participant registrations. Click here for more info.
Workshop vs. Construction
While a workshop can result in a nice section of wall, if your primary goal is to have a wall built (or rebuilt), we recommend you hire one of our professional members to build the wall for you. The Stone Trust is an education based organization. Not a construction contractor. Hosting a workshop gives no grantee of the quantity, structural quality, or appearance of the wall. Many locations are not suitable for teaching workshops and the costs of hosting the workshop are often similar to that of hiring a contractor build the wall. However, for those looking to learn walling, custom workshops can be an excellent choice.
