Straw Bale Workshops |
|
Ongoing,
world-wide straw bale workshops hosted by StrawBale.com
Join us for an intensely fun, completely hands-on, and wildly
educational 7 day straw bale workshop! Our workshops are totally
hands-on and you will be baling, wiring, plumbing, and plastering
on real homes...no 'mock-up' walls here! The pace is relaxed and
fun yet amazingly productive and efficient.Each workshop includes
3 full meals per day (you won't be hungry!), camping accommodations,
bathing facilities, and everyone is encouraged to stay on site.
So, come and join us for a week of serious fun and learning you
won't forget!
The seven day comprehensive workshop is designed to teach participants
everything they need to know to build their own straw bale structure.
We work with structures that enable the participants to learn,
hands on, about many facets of straw bale construction. Specific
topics covered in the construction of the structures are:
-
Toe Up Installation
- Bale Stacking
- Bale Re-Tying and Alteration
- Window and Door Installation
- Box Beam Construction and Installation
