Straworks will run 1 - 2 weekend workshops in 2010.
These
2-day workshop are a thorough, hands-on, introduction to straw bale construction. Friday evening we get started with a presentation
on straw bale building and a slide show. Saturday we do bale work on one of Straworks current projects including the
stacking, stuffing, installing lath over wood, pinning and prepping the bales for plaster. We like to cut corners (of the
bales that is!) and make beautiful curved window wells. We also carve niches, install light tubes made of glass bottles and
a moisture meter in the bale walls. Sunday, we fire-up the mortar mixer and spray on plaster.
