2 Day Dry Stone Walling Course - Dry Stone Walling Association training

All tools, equipment, and eye protection will be provided. However, attendees are required to bring:
Clothing suitable for all weather conditions
Sun cream and a hat
Sturdy footwear – steel toe boots are recommended
Work gloves (e.g. rigger gloves or PVC-dipped gloves – especially useful for handling wet or dry stone) - However we will have gloves available on the day if required.
Packed lunch & Snacks and plenty of drinks, especially in hot weather (I will bring some bottled water just in case anyone forgets)

Course Details - on the day
Please arrive between 9:15 - 09:30am
Courses run from 9:30am to approximately 4:00pm. Toilets are available on-site at Hall Bower Chapel (All footwear must be removed when entering the Chapel).
After a short introduction and essential safety briefing, the rest of the day is hands-on. You’ll be involved in lifting and manual work, but don’t worry—no one will be asked to go beyond their physical limits.
The course is designed to give you the knowledge and confidence to understand the basics of a dry stone wall. From stripping down an existing aged wall, building foundations and then build layered sections of the dry stone wall.

We hope you will enjoy learning an old craft skill and look forward to meeting you on the day.
