SPECIALTY NATURAL BUILDING WORKSHOPS
Book us to run an earth building training or workshop at your place
We are very happy to come to your place to run a workshop or training.
This can be anything from a fun 1-day pizza oven building play-shop, to a week-long specialized training in earthen plaster techniques for trades people, to facilitating working bees or community builds.
We usually require clients to be responsible for organizing the on-site logistics and advertising of their own event, but can of course help with this if needed.
For workshops we teach in a team of two and the charge for tuition is $1200+GST per day (for longer trainings we charge an hourly rate for preparation and planning), plus travel and accommodation.
A discount can be negotiated for community or school projects, please do not hesitate to talk to me about your options.
