S4-S6: STONEMASON TRAINING OPPORTUNITY
Published: Thu 18 Apr 2024

I am offering a young person of either gender or none a training opportunity and introduction to the world of stonemasonry.   I am currently building myself a new house in an old stone barn. The existing building requires an extensive program of renovation.

A mason’s mate is a semi skilled operative that understands the processes involved in working with traditional lime mortar. They learn how to batch all the different mixes and consistencies required for the various operations of building, pointing and repairing stone walls. They learn how to assist the mason to pick out and repoint the multitude of completely different mortar joints found on a traditional stone building.  I would like to think that this would be a tremendous opportunity to secure a proper apprenticeship.

If you are interested in finding out more about this opportunity please see your Pupil Support Leader.
