Bioconstruction II: Natural Paints & Plasters

Join us for Phase 2 of our Bioconstruction Workshop series.

With Habitat Recovery Project, we are creating a hexagonal Sanctum as a spiritual beacon. This project brings together folks from near and far to learn to construct with nontoxic materials. In Phase 1, we used many bioconstruction techniques: cordwood, cob, light clay straw, Bousillage (a Louisiana regional cob method), bottle-bricks, roundwood framing, natural plasters. We had additional education sessions on chainsaw safety and felling trees.
