Deirdre McGahern owns Straworks and is a designer, carpenter and natural builder.
Since 2008, Deirdre has sat on the board of the Ontario Straw Bale Building Coaliton. You can read more about her by clicking here.
Over the years, Straworks has worked
with many different contractors, builders, designers and owners-builders. You can meet several of them below. We form crews
and join crews to suit the project at hand.
During the building season, Straworks typically
employs one person full-time. This position is ideal for someone with construction experience and who
doesn't mind travelling for work. From framing to finish carpentry, from bale work to plastering, it's
an opportunity to learn a lot about natural building and carpentry while touring rural Ontario. Ocassionally we build in cities
too.
Straworks
offers one of Ontario's only straw bale plastering crews. For more on information on it, please visit our Plastering page.
