Calling all sustainability folks, engineers, artists, builders, visionaries, grass-touchers, home-inhabiters, homestead-dreamers, students, and clay-curious: the time has come! I’m hosting natural building workshops this next month in Medford, MA and I’d love to see you there.
For me, natural building workshops were a transformational experience that opened a whole new vision of sustainability, community, and well-being to me that I’ve been passionate about ever since.
Since then, I’ve embarked on a journey to become a natural builder and educator, to offer you with that experience, right here in Greater Boston.
You can register here for any of four dates this next month. The workshops will be hosted at a property in West Medford where I am converting a shed into a backyard studio with natural materials. It’s the perfect experience for anyone interested in sustainable, natural building, no experience required.
- Sat 10/19, 10 am-12:30 pm
- Sun 10/20, 10 am-12:30 pm
- Sat 11/2, 1 pm-3:30 pm
- Sun 11/3, 1 pm-3:30 pm
In a compact and value-packed 2 1/2 hours, we will cover:
- History of the natural building movement, broadly and in our region
- Science of natural building materials
- Introduction to light-straw clay building and why it is relevant to our region
- Hands on light straw-clay mixing and wall-filling!
- FAQs: Is it legal? Does it work? Can it scale?
- And more!
Workshop attendance is capped for a small, intimate gathering with plenty of time for individual questions and assistance. I am proud to be the first to offer natural building workshops in Greater Boston (that I know of!), so don’t hesitate to grab your spot at these limited opportunities.
You can also save and share the workshop page on my website.
I hope you are having a beautiful autumn. Feel free to contact me with any questions at biolithicbuilds@gmail.com.
Light straw-clay: the wall that sprouts! (Don’t worry, it’s ok!)
