Building With Straw Bales

June 6, July 11 & August 22

The Basics of Building with Straw Bale

A 3-part series. Interested in getting started on a straw-bale home? Join us to learn some of the basics of straw-bale design in a three-part series of summer workshops. The workshops will consist of a balance of theory, history and hands-on practice. Participants will have a chance to see two existing homes and will have a chance to practice new skills on a load-bearing home that is under construction. June 6: Rubble Trench Foundations: Theory and design; July 11: The Framing Components of Straw Bale; August 22: Putting it All Together: Raising the walls and roof. Cost: $75 per workshop, or register for all 3 sessions for $200! Cost includes a home-cooked organic lunch. Bursaries are available on a needs basis. For more information, please contact alison@fallsbrookcentre.ca or 375-4310. Falls Brook Centre is located at 125 South Knowlesville Road, Knowlesville, New Brunswick.
