Straw Bale Workshop

  • When: April 27 & 28th

  • Where: Boise - Exact location will be provided once you sign up

During the workshop you will learn:

  • Passive and Active solar and how to make a home energy neutral

  • The history behind the design and possible applications

  • The steps involved in designing and building with straw bale

  • How sourcing straw locally contributes to our vibrant farming community

  • How Earthen plaster works with the straw to provide excellent insulation

For our upcoming Straw Bale Workshop, we are excited to partner with Mark Lung, CEO of Eco2librium. Mark is spearheading the effort to unite the community in constructing a straw bale home for a local woman in Boise. EarthCraft, along with numerous other subcontractors, has generously donated their labor to support this initiative. Furthermore, in conjunction with this workshop, we will be organizing a separate Plaster Workshop on another weekend as part of this project.

Thank you for your interest! Please let us know if you plan on attending.
Additionally, please feel free to share this email with people who may also be interested. 

Sincerely,
