When I saw Damian’s workshop advertised I jumped at the opportunity.
I found Damian’s relaxed teaching style, his generous sharing of knowledge, the highly practical nature of his workshop just excellent.
I learnt so much over the four days and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
If you have a curiosity of stone masonry and want to learn some real skills treat yourself to one of Damian’s workshops, you won’t be disappointed.
Ye Olde Stone School seeks experiences of space, enabled by carefully crafted walls, whilst optimising the experiences of makers.
Courses journey from boulders to buildings and clarify the extreme architectural satisfaction possible in spaces surrounded by hand-crafted stone walls.
They focus on three key things:–skills – traditional stone handcraft–artisanal logic – understanding the ‘why’ of historic architectural details, and–human agency – there is not only the ‘thing’ to be made, there also is the maker to ‘become’.
Ye Olde Stone School courses are currently held at Warriewood on Sydney’s northern beaches and at The Farm Byron Bay.
Duration of courses varies to suit the needs of participants.
Pricing depends on length of course e.g. $270 (one day), $770* (4 days).
