BUILDING WITH STRAW BALE & CLAY
two technichal courses for experts and
do-it-yourselfer
Damanhur
Building with straw bales represents a sustainable solution offering a wide range of unconventional, creative forms for cozy living spaces. Whoever builds with bale can easily assist with ones own hands cutting costs considerably. For all these reasons, communities are attracted by building houses with straw bales.
In cooperation with two experts of the building team Siebenlinden (www.oekodorf7linden.de), Damanhur will construct and plaster for the first time a small strawbale house of 20 qm within a specialized seminar. We invite all interested builders, both professionals and do-it-yourselfers, to join us this late summer in Italy; We welcome especially members of other communities.
The project is structured in two courses that can be attended separately or in combination.
If you are visiting Damanhur for the first time, please arrive early enough to visit the community in an introductory visit Sunday afternoon (no extra charge).
Course languages are German, Italian, English - translation is provided for.
