Classes

Learn the craft.

Lime that breathes, holds water, and cures back to stone. You don’t read about it — you slake it, trowel it, and burnish it with your own hands. Read the free guides first; the rest you learn at the wall.

Small hands-on workshops in San Antonio. Every Sunday, 10 AM in San Antonio — reserve a seat and we’ll tell you the week’s craft.
