Intro to Earthbag building - Workshop

Earthbag is one of the most environmentally friendly and cost effective forms of building. Unlike conventional building earthbag construction is quicker to complete and easier to master. No previous building experience is necessary.

The purpose of this workshop is to give you the the tools needed to get started building with earthbag.  We’ll cover all the phases of construction from design and modeling to foundation, earthbag walls, plaster and roofs. Learn the theory and design principles of this type of building along with gaining hands on experience working on the structure currently under construction.

 

Many partipants find this course very exhilerating because it empowers them with the ability to build beautiful shelters, affordably and with very little tools. We support participants with their projects and can help with designs.

Bring your design ideas and creativity!
