Sue Graham reviewed: Two day dry stone walling course for beginners in association with Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain

"Having signed up for our 2 day workshop with Lancashire DSWA, we were excited to learn this new skill. Everyone was so welcoming and from the moment we started, throughout the 2 days, there was always an expert there to give advice and encouragement, when it was needed. The tuition was excellent, and as we began the physical "hands on" stage, we were instructed on how to keep ourselves and others safe when lifting heavy stones and using the tools. We began the day by taking down the wall that needed repairing and learnt how to sort and lay out the stone. Next we learnt how to calculate the dimensions of the finished wall and set up a framework to guide us. We then laid the foundations and gradually, layer upon layer we built the wall back up. Everyone was so friendly, and the sense of acheivement we felt when we surveyed our finished wall was immense. We enrolled on this weekend to find out whether we could take on the challenge of rebuilding a dry stone wall that had fallen into disrepair, and with the encouragement and expert teaching we have received, it has given us the confidence to give it a go! Thankyou to all the experts in the Lancashire DSWA for making our weekend so enjoyable. "

Dry Stone Walling Association Lancashire Branch responded:

Sarah reviewed: Two day dry stone walling course for beginners in association with Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain

"I bought 2 places on the course for my partner for his 40th birthday and for my brother in law for his 40th too and they both loved it. They said the course was delivered by very knowledgeable people and they learned a lot from them. Although they both said it was tough work, they would have gone again on the Monday if they could! All in all a great course! "

Dry Stone Walling Association Lancashire Branch responded:

" Sarah We are so please that they both enjoyed the two day course, it was a joy to spend two days with them. all the Best Paul n Chris"
