A very popular 3 day professionally taught stone masonry course designed to teach students of all abilities the processes involved in the production of architectural stonework. Whether you're looking to enter the trade as a Stonemason, expand your knowledge of working with stone, involved or interested in restoration and conservation, or perhaps own a stone property in need of maintenance, this course is the ideal place to begin.
The course is based on the production of a classical ovolo mould complete with internal and external mitres, the processes involved being fundamental in the production of all architectural stonework. The ovolo mould can be found in many guises in both historic and modern architecture from classical columns to the basis of egg and dart ornamentation. Throughout the course the following areas are addressed:
- Selection of suitable stone including identification of defects.
- Correct selection, use and sharpening of tools.
- Working true flat surfaces without twist from rough blocks.
- Marking out of templates.
- Correct methods of working mouldings.
- Marking out of internal and external mitres.
- Finishes.
The stone used for the stone masonry courses is Maltese limestone, a soft and easy stone to work that retains very good detail
Upon completion of the course students will take home with them an excellent example of stonework demonstrating their understanding of the processes involved in its production.
Everyone who has attended our courses has achieved excellent results and taken away with them fantastic pieces of work - testimony to the professional level of instruction given throughout the course.
Please note that tools and stone are provided for use during all courses and that you take away with you your finished piece at the end of the three days.
Refreshment breaks during the course are taken on an ad hoc basis with tea, coffee and biscuits in plentiful supply.
