Another amazing EarthBag Building workshop is upon us.
Earthen hand construction offers natural building classes. These include EarthBag construction, natural plastering and passive solar design. July 23-26, EarthenHand in Portland Oregon will host the first of several workshops this summer. This workshop will use the newest kind of mesh Earthbags which EarthenHand have found to be superior of others they have tried. This workshop will also include an introduction to Passive Annual Heat Storage combined with earthbag buildings. This amazing method allows the earth surrounding the house to absorb summer heat for use during the winter.
The Earthbag Building Construction course is one of EarthenHand’s most popular offerings.
Come learn the theory and practice in any or all of four different in-depth courses in July and August. The new Hiperadobe method, replaces the polypro bag with a strong mesh bag, further reducing materials, costs, and construction time.
In this course you will:
- Learn more about Passive Annual Heat Storage
- Learn construction techniques on construction mesh bags.
- Gain hands on plastering skills
- Get One on one building and construction advice.
Please review all their course offerings at www.earthenhand.com/workshops/.
