Workshops
Last year 2025, our workshop focus was on building - we built 12 domes in 12 months! This year our campus will focus on plaster and finishwork with minimal building. Join us this year to learn how earthbags can be used and learn in-depth finishwork on our campus!
All workshops are beginner friendly!
