Run by professionally accredited waller and instructor Emma Knowles, the 'Stone of Arc' workshop aims to help participants develop new skills or even unlock new opportunities. 

"Participation in this workshop could result in a new garden project, a new interest or hobby, tired muscles or even a new career," Ms Knowles said. 

"The two-day workshops outline the key principles of dry stone walling and provide participants with guided practical experience."

"Once participants have completed the Introductory workshop, they can participate in more advanced courses such as Curves, Arches and Retaining walls."

Dry stone walls typically differ from conventional walls in that they don't use mortar or other binding agents, instead relying on careful stone selection and placement to hold the construction together. 

"Dry stone walls have stood the test of time in many places around the world, enduring for hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of years," Ms Knowles said. 

During the workshop, participants drew on Ms Knowles expertise to construct a five metre stretch of stone wall using these techniques. 

“It was a unique experience. Wellington is lucky to have this workshop at its door," Matt Kerlie, a participant in the workshop, said.

A time lapse video of the construction can be viewed below:
