<BLOCKQUOTE class=gmail_quote
style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Dear
all,<BR><BR>Just want to catch this email flow, and offer to host workshops
for any<BR>other 'Masters' touring Europe. We run the 'PermaLot Centre for
Natural<BR>building' in Czech Republic, a NGO initiative inspired by the
Cob<BR>Cottage Company and similar facilities in Norway and Russia. Our aim
is<BR>to teach the trade of Natural building to CEE country
participants.<BR>We're still limited by the fact that we are only able to
offer<BR>'in-house' accommodation during summer season, but are actively
looking<BR>for funding to create accommodation for 18 people upstairs in our
120<BR>year old farm building.<BR>We just renovated our site: <A
href="http://www.permalot.org/" target=_blank>www.permalot.org</A>, and I'd
encourage any<BR>educators among you to make use of the new 'comic book'
manuals I'm<BR>making. You'll find them under the 'resources' tab on the
site.<BR><BR>Here's some links for the Portuguese architect in case he'd
prefer to<BR>save our planet from more CO2 pollution from his travel(!), and
may want<BR>to stay home in Portugal and connect to the following:<BR><BR>The
square SB approach by architect/earth builder Eduardo Carvalho and<BR>friends:
<A href="http://www.planob.com/eng/planob.html"
target=_blank>http://www.planob.com/eng/planob.html</A><BR>The curvy SB
approach of Tamera: <A href="http://www.tamera.org/index.php?id=509&L=0"
target=_blank>http://www.tamera.org/index.php?id=509&L=0</A><BR>...Or the
more home made approach of 'Luzku-Fuzku', which currently are<BR>involved in
making a micro theater of SB and cob:<BR><A

target=_blank>http://www.ecolivingportugal.org/2009/01/luzku-fuzku-agenda-2009/</A><BR><BR>Naturally,
another option is to join us all at the Euro Strawbale<BR>Gathering in Belgium
in August, where several masters will be showing<BR>their different
approaches...<BR><BR>Enjoy,<BR>Max Vittrup Jensen,<BR>Natural Builder and
networker<BR><BR><BR>>>> I have had a request by a Portugese
arquitect looking for SB workshops<BR>>>> oriented towards
"profesionals"-anywhere in
Europe<BR>____________________________________________________<BR>
