Workshops

Everybody benefits from hands-on experience

Whether you are a construction professional or a complete novice, there is nothing like the opportunity to participate in the construction of a straw bale building before attempting to undertake your own structure.

Participants in our hands-on workshops have the chance to experience all the various facets of creating a load-bearing, straw bale building, from foundation to roof. Our small-group format allows each participant to get some straw under their fingernails and try their hands at each stage of the building process.

Plenty of time is alloted for the discussion of different techniques and practices. Our aim is to make available as many options, ideas and possibilities as we can, and our discussion sessions are usually lively and exciting as each participant raises questions, concerns, insights and plans of their own.

 

Workshop Schedule:

We don't currently have any workshops scheduled for this season, but would be happy to teach a workshop for you if you would like a small shed or outbuilding built on your property. Plenty of bale-raisings have seen volunteers from past workshops emerge to help out and continue the community spirit that develops at the workshops. We will come and teach workshops at your site...contact us to talk further about the possibilities.
