Drystone walling certification course
Canada's own dry stone wall Master Craftsman Dean McLellan and Great Britain's Master Craftsman, and Chief Examiner for the Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain, Andrew Loudon will teach an introductory dry stone walling course on May 24 and 25. The course is located in the heart of Saugeen First Nation #29 just north of Southampton.
Interested stone wallers, enthusiasts, landscape contractors and masons can learn the fundamentals of the craft over two days, and those interested can attempt their Level 1 certification on the Monday.
All components of a dry stone wall are covered, from batter frames, base stones, through stones and coping. After completion of this course, students will be able to readily identify properly-built walls and understand the considerations in their construction.
Course fee is $300, including lunches and treats. The certification day is a separate event on Monday, May 26.
