With your classmates, you will deconstruct and rebuild an existing wall built to Dry Stone Walling Association certification test specifications.You and your classmates strip out and rebuild the wall over the course of the day—9 to 5 with a half-hour break for lunch. Come learn from certified waller-teachers, most of whom earn their livelihoods as dry stone walling professionals.

So, you've started building a dry stone wall. Now what? Join us October 28-29 from 9am-5pm to learn how to put the proper finishing touches on your stone wall!

Structurally, cheeks are the most vulnerable part of a wall, so it is important to get them right. A Cheek Rebuild workshop is a must for all of you walling professionally.The Cheek Rebuild workshop runs simultaneously with the Two-Day Introduction to Dry Stone Walling. You will be building the wall end while beginning wallers build the faces.
