Join us this Summer as we build a small cottage in the woods designed to demonstrate a wide range of natural building techniques. Over eight days you will learn how to build with cob, straw bales, lights-straw-clay, adobe, and poles. You will also have the opportunity to use earthen plasters. Lectures, discussions and demonstrations will focus on passive solar design, alternative energy, foundations, living roofs, load-bearing and non-load-bearing construction, cob ovens, and much more. We will also tour several finished natural homes.
Participants will Receive detailed instruction and
hands-on experience in small cottage construction from laying the foundation
to application of a living roof. This extended workshop allows for a
deeper sense of community, and the opportunity to sink into the beautiful
Williams Valley (an afternoon off is scheduled mid week).
The Workshops Start Saturday Morning.
Out of town participants are welcome to arrive Friday evening between
5pm and 10pm. The workshop ends at 4pm on Saturday.
Cost: This eight day workshop costs $640.
