Craftwork Training Center

We are still peeking into 2021 to predict when the coast will be clear from this Pandemic in order to start up our classes again. For now our trainers have been working in the field on historic structures to stay on top of their game. Stay well!!! We will keep you informed as soon as we get a tentative schedule up.

I'm grateful for. . . Being thankful may be difficult right now. If you're struggling to find the upside in this tumultuous year, count yourself as one among many. However, let us continue to encourage and remind each other of the power in small, ordinary moments. May your stuffing be tasty. May your turkey be plump.... May your potatoes and gravy have nary a lump. May your yams be delicious, your pies take the prize, And may your Thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs! During this Thanksgiving season, our thoughts turn gratefully to those who have made our progress possible. Craftwork Training Center and LimeWorks.us will be closed on Nov. 26-26.

This is a photo of a beautiful spiral staircase designed by Leonardo da Vinci in the year 1516. To build with the idea of forever is so honorable and so comforting in it’s permanence in this ever changing world we live in. It’s why we believe in the traditional trades at Craftwork Training Center. If only Leonardo could come to lecture for a day.

Changes are ever present. Craftwork trades are pretty consistent. Brick and Stonemasonry -it’s pretty much same as it ever was. Its laborious but very comforting in its predictability- The sepulcher of a rich Roman family of the 4th century AD, where the frescoed walls are perfectly preserved, also preserves the perfect reproduction of the construction techniques of the time. In one of the scenes that decorate the walls of an underground burial in the Appio-Latino district,... a construction site is well represented with workers at work moving on the stairs using tools that resemble those still used today. Not only that, the painted image depicts the only reproduction that has come down to us of a Roman scaffolding. The tomb discovered in 1911, and object of studies over time, was named thanks to the inscription which states that the tomb was erected by Trebio Giusto and Horonatia Severina in honor of the son, the namesake of his father, called Asellus, died at a very young age #Romaeternascoperta
