About Us
The School of Stereotomy
The Professional School of Practical Stereotomy is a unique small private school where students gain hands-on experience in practical stereotomy, an ancient method used in designing and constructing structures like cathedrals and castles. This method, known as L'Art du Trait, involves working drawings and has been utilized for centuries. As students learn and apply these techniques, they gain new skills and transform their way of thinking, enabling them to take on complex projects with confidence. Ultimately, they develop a different perspective, allowing them to see and accomplish things they once thought were intimidating or too challenging.
