Description
Our Random Rubble Walling Course is aimed at beginners seeking to learn the basic skills involved in random rubble masonry, and aims to give them hands-on practical experience in the various aspects of creating a finished product.
During the classes, our tutors will begin by briefing you on different types of stone and the difficulty levels involved in the working of it. The Random Rubble Walling Course also covers different finishing patterns, methods of dressing in preparation for building, and the building of random stone. This will involve a practical demonstration by the tutors, after which pupils will be invited to use the tools provided to dress their own piece of stone – followed by building it into a section of a wall.
For this class you will be provided with all tools, materials and personal protective equipment required, we would ask that you please bring protective outdoor clothing and footwear that you don’t mind getting dirty.
