list of courses, seminars and on-site training in all aspects of natural
building particularly strawbale building. These are suitable for the complete
beginner and the more experienced, and all our courses have just been
accredited by RIBASkills (Royal Institute of British Architects). This year’s
programme will be on our website very soon but email us if you want a list sent
to you direct. We run training courses on real building sites throughout the <st1:country-region
w:st="on">UK</st1:country-region> and the rest of Europe, at our own training
workshops in Todmorden, <st1:place w:st="on">West Yorkshire</st1:place>, and at
other venues, covering such subjects as: build your own mini-building in 5
days: cement-free foundations; moisture in strawbale walls; introduction to
strawbale building, clay plastering, lime plastering, and many more!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
