During this workshop, participants will get hands-on experience building an earthbag root cellar. I can’t think of a better medium from which to build root cellars and other earth contact/underground structures. Participants will also be learning the basics of earth plastering and we will cover many other aspects of designing and building an earthbag structure. A workshop like this is a great introduction to the method and a terrific chance to meet a group of cool, open-minded folks.

In June of 2022, our friend Willow hosted 20-something of us during earthbag building workshop in Crestone, CO. I heard several people express how life-changing this experience was. Not only were we surrounded by the astonishing, otherworldly beauty of the high desert and Southern Colorado Rocky Mountains, but there was a special energy as a group of strangers came together around a common project and became friends. Now, in September of 2024, Willow will be hosting a second such event and I am thrilled to be a part of it.
