3.30 Cheek End Intensive Workshop – Pennsylvania
So you are a professional waller getting ready to test for Dry Stone Walling Association Level 2 Waller Certification, globally recognized as the professional standard. You want to understand the scoring criteria and assure that you are ready to pass the test. It is a demanding test with substantially higher expectations for fit and finish. Attend this four-day course to see how you measure up against the scoring criteria. Determine the aspects of building a cheek end that you personally need to focus on to successfully test. Access a mentor who can help you prepare for your Level 2 test.
Workshop Objective:
To reinforce and build on the basic principles and techniques of dry stone walling and provide a good environment for expanding skills.
Learning Outcomes:
- You can state the criteria to achieve a passing Level 2 test stint.
- You can describe your attempt at a passing quality build.
- You can focus your test preparation, having benchmarked your walling skills and speed.
- You can create the needed stones for a cheek end when they are not available, having advanced your stone shaping skills.
Many wallers fail the Level 2 certification test at least once. You may underestimate the skill level needed to pass. The Cheek End Intensive workshop helps you:
- Understand what is necessary to achieve a passing Level 2 test stint
- Understand and experience a passing quality build
- Benchmark your walling skills and speed so that you know how to focus your test preparation
Over the course of three-days, you build a high-quality cheek end. During the build, you develop the necessary skills to build to the standard. On day four, you execute a 7-hour timed build on a different cheek end. The mock test reinforces lessons learned and lets you benchmark speed and quality. Throughout the workshop, you receive feedback on your process and the quality of your work.
