Timber Frame, Straw-Bale & Straw-Clay Workshop

Led by Robert Laporte, a Natural Home Builder with several years
experience.  We will be raising the walls on a community building in a
co-housing community in a remote site 20 miles south of Moab, Utah.
The site is at 5,900 feet at the base of the LaSal Mountains with a
pond and creeks.

The workshop will cover earth plastering and earth floors in addition to
timber framing, straw-bale and straw-clay construction.  Learn a variety
of hands-on basic skills to build your own natural home.
