CPD1 - An introduction to Flint Knapping
Old House Store will be running a practical one day course on flint, and its use in structures. The course is aimed at private individuals as well as Architects, Conservation Officers, Planning Officers and trades people. The main emphasis of the day will be both practical and informative. The first part of the morning will be split between: flints - history, styles and good practice building flint walls; Mortars - analysis, looking at lime, matching and making. The rest of the day will be spent hands on, mixing mortars, repointing and relaying flints. Throughout the day discussion and debate will revolve around the needs and concerns of both the contractor and planning supervisors. Advice will be given on determining the condition of walls. What to specify? Which flints to use? Which lime mortar to use?
By the end of the day all participants will have had a reasonable opportunity to repoint and rebuild a section of flint wall, together with sharing experiences and concerns about overseeing flint work on a professional level. It is hoped then that all participants will leave equipped with the knowledge to assess, advise and give specifications on flint work, or even take on small projects. At the end of the course you will also be provided with course summary notes and a ' Continuing Practice Certificate'
The day format will start at 9.30am and end at 4.30pm. Lunch will be provided together with teas and coffee throughout the day. All materials, tools and safety equipment will be supplied.
The course date for 2010 is; Thursday JUNE 17th Course fee: £94.00 including vat
