This course is designed with the 'non-professional' builder in mind and is aimed as an introduction course. An introduction to natural building will be facilitated by Barbara Leite; a pioneer of the Mount of Oaks community since 2006 (another community local to us). She has over 9 years experience in Permaculture Design and Natural Building, with all the mistakes and successes that go with starting from scratch! Come and learn about: - Gravel Foundation, French drainage and stem wall with gravel bags - Strawbale walls - Adobe bricks and light earth slabs - Wattle and daub walls - Cob with glass bottles and cordwood - Earth and lime plasters - Lime-wash painting with natural pigments What can you expect from this course? - The course will consist of daily theory classes with introductions to all of the aforementioned building techniques using local and natural materials. However, this is predominantly a hands on learning course and it will mostly be practical in order for participants to really get a feel for each material and technique. (a complete pdf Manual will be provided at the time of registration). - Participants will gain the ability and skills to design and build their own small natural build. - Daily Yoga Classes -Three meals a day including tea, coffee and snack breaks. - On the day-off, an optional trip to the Mount of Oaks community will be available in order to see some of their existing natural buildings, have a tour and lunch for an extra cost of 15€/person.
