one-day course

dry stone walling

location: nr Penrith, Cumbria

With Cumbrian Steve Allen, professional dry stone waller.

Learn this age-old technique of creating a solid stone wall without the use of any cement / mortar - Steve will guide you through the setting out & various stages of wall construction.

He is the existing & many times World Champion dry stone waller, and it's a great opportunity to work with him. He spends a lot of time in America working with Andy Goldsworthy - so will have a lot of knowledge to share. Please bring safety goggles & suitable gloves/safety boots.
