Ecological Building Workshop

Join Guenther Andraschko and Trish Allen for the one-day hands Ecological Building Workshop and get your hands in the clay! Participants will engage in two actual projects using earth-building methods of adobe in-situ and light-earth and understanding the benefits and process of both.

Local Matakana owner-builder, James Andrews will join as a guest tutor to share his experience with light-earth, a method which uses clay & straw as insulation to infill a timber frame. Guenther will impart 30-years of earth building expertise as he guides you through an adobe in-situ build which is a cement stabilised mudbrick, a great malleable material, ideally used for garden walls or where walls are exposed to the elements.

This one-day Ecological Building Workshop is part of a series of practical sessions linked to the Matakana Modular PDC presented by Trish Allen and Guenther Andraschko. Anyone is welcome to attend the Practical Workshop days to gain hands-on skills related to permaculture practices.
