During this extensive workshop, participants will get hands-on experience building an earthbag hyperadobe tiny house. This class is open to folks of any and all skill and knowledge levels. Participants will also learn earth plastering and we will cover many other aspects of designing and building an earthen tiny house. A workshop like this is a great introduction to the method and a terrific chance to meet a group of cool, open-minded folks.
