Straw Bale and Plaster Building Workshop
Straw Bale and Plaster Building Workshop
Interested in energy-efficient, comfy, low-cost building? Project designer and AIA Associate Adam Jonas offers a two-part workshop on straw bale and cement plaster building. Many of you saw his brief slideshow at our recent Perennial Gathering, and he is back by popular demand. Sign up for either the Friday night lecture or the entire workshop (including the lecture and a Saturday morning hands-on workshop).
Straw Bale and Plaster Building Lecture and Slideshow
If only the First Little Pig had put stucco on his straw house.
Please join us Friday, July 17 to learn all about how that Little Piggy could have been saved from the Big Bad Wolf as well as many other anecdotal adventures in straw bale building. Myths will be dispelled, pros and cons will be defined, and many lessons learned as we hear the construction story of a wee bale-building that surpasses many LEED standards.
Straw Bale and Plaster Building Hands-On Workshop -- Limited to 15 people
Think you can out-build the First Little Piggy? Then on Saturday July 18th, come get your hands dirty with us and put forth an effort to beautify North Minneapolis. Many of the building techniques and construction details introduced at Friday's lecture will be put to practice by sculpting, sawing, slicing and stuccoing straw bales benches…(We promise they won't blow down)
