According to the Rustic Girls website, bricklaying is a heavy job that can be very exacting.
This, it said, means that it also requires a lot of patience, as some jobs can be time-consuming.
However, it advised that if people want to gain expertise in bricklaying, they must make sure they are familiar with terms such as header, soldier and wythe.
"Every craft has its special terminology," Rustic Girls said.
"Bricklaying is no exception."
The website added that if people want to take up bricklaying on an amateur basis, they should get started with a fairly simple project such as a wall or fence.
Aspiring bricklayers can find a good selection of bricklaying tools here on the Speedcrete website.
A W. Rose trowel can be one essential purchase, while items such as sled runners and mortar boards can also be handy implements on site.
