Kyneton Dry Stone Walling
introduction to
dry stone walling course
Our Introduction to Dry Stone Walling Course is designed for beginners to learn the ancient art of dry stone walling. No prior experience is necessary to participate. Constructed from imported mudstone, our training walls enable students to easily grasp the principles of dry stone walling. Mudstone's fine-grained texture and smooth surface, along with its tendency to break into irregular or blocky fragments, make it an ideal learning stone for our courses.
