Artistry

A core part of our progression to Advanced Walling is instruction. The Instructor Certification course provides you with interpersonal and leadership skills. These skills are equally applicable to teaching workshops and to leading crews on a project.

The walling skills needed to achieve Level 3 certification are primarily developed on either personal or professional projects. Expect to build hundreds of feet of wall on your progression.

Business Fundamentals for the Waller will provide you with tools to win more business, and execute your projects more profitably.

Advanced Walling Days are an opportunity to build features with other wallers at one of the Stone Trust sites. This is a great way to learn while broadening your connections in the walling community. It also is a great way to give back to The Stone Trust.

All workshops are taught by instructors that are certified by the Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain (DSWA-GB)
