PLEASE NOTE: We may be releasing a few more places on the April course in December 2023. Add yourself to the waitlist if you can&#39;t book the places you want now. A two-day, beginner, hands-on course to rebuild a section of dry-stone wall, learning the age old techniques of this satisfying craft. The origins of building in dry stone, i.e. without the use of mortar, are lost in the mists of antiquity. Walling techniques are defined by the stone available, hence Scottish walls are crafted a little differently from other regions of the UK.
WSDSWA is a charity. We run 3 courses a year.
The training courses show you the basic rules of building a strong wall and enforce the learnings with practice over two days. Afterwards, you should be able to build or rebuild your own walls to enhance your outside spaces. The physical effort involved is not great - you will be shown techniques to move any heavy stones.
The course runs over the weekend. Bring stout shoes, wet weather clothes, lunch and a snack for morning break, and some cheap, industrial gloves.&nbsp;
More info on the training can be found on <a href="https://admin.cademy.co.uk/courses/edit/wsdswa.org.uk/training" fr-original-style="" style="user-select: auto; font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: inherit;">wsdswa.org.uk/training</a>Please look at our FAQs to download/print a detailed set of directions to this farm location.

It&rsquo;s a design that challenges the wisdom of contemporary makers and one that will help you question some of your own theories about construction. On this three day course you will construct a simple box with a hinged lid using a range of basic hand tools, simple joinery and traditional cut nails. No glue. As well as learning how to maximize the potential of wide boards, you&rsquo;ll also learn to cut joints that are ready for assembly straight off the saw. There is scope for more experienced woodworkers to embellish their chest by producing mouldings by hand or adding an internal compartment to their chest. Tools and materials will be provided.My weekend courses start on Friday evenings at 4.30pm and aim to finish by 1.00pm on Sunday.
