Re: [Strawbale] SB workshops

["Barbara" <barbara@amazonails....uk>]

Hi all

To add our contribution to the talk about workshops for ‘professionals’ in Europe:

Amazonails offers a full and comprehensive 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 UK and the rest of Europe, at our own training workshops in Todmorden, West Yorkshire, 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!

We have designed loadbearing and infill houses not just in the UK but also in Ireland, France, Portugal, Czech and Bulgaria.

Hopefully we will be enticing the esteemed Steens to spend a few days with us so we can get them to talk to a wider audience and show them some of our recent work, such as the largest s/b building in the UK , an 1100m² saleroom for Sworders Ltd.Or the state of the art classroom for the National Trust at Windermere www.strawfootprint.org or our truly affordable semi-detached loadbearing houses in Exmoor, currently under construction.

 

Best wishes

 

Barbara

 

One of the strawbale houses we have been involved in, Penwhilwr in Wales, has won the Grand Designs Ecohouse of the year award. Thank you for your support.

I have had a request by a Portugese arquitect looking for SB workshops oriented towards "profesionals"-anywhere in Europe. 

 

If anyone knows of any please respond on or off list as you see fit.

 

thanks,
