2008 Workshop

The workshops were held in Seaside on the grounds of the Chartwell School with Jay Tulley acting as host. The 16’x24’ structure was a permitted load bearing strawbale building with Earth Plaster. The foundation has a concrete footing and will have an earthen floor. The building will be used as an outdoor classroom by the school and the students are assisting in finishing the building.
