Drystone Masonry Installations & Masonry Classes

My mission is to empower & inspire others by teaching globally-informed drystone masonry techniques, to share images of stonework, and to leave a legacy of stone installations. I leave a mark on history by helping others make theirs.

“The notecards are stunning images of your stonework. The textured paper is also perfect for them. They look and feel like soft stone surfaces.”

“Joe did a great job re-using our existing stone. His choice of new capstones also made for a great sitting wall. As a result, our whole family and our cat enjoys it.”
