Strawbale Building Workshop
Wednesday, 17th October, 2007 at 11:26 am, Isle of Wight
| 27, October 2007 | to | 28, October 2007 |
Those busy bees at Aldermoor Farm in Ryde have another great weekend of rural learning coming up on Saturday/Sunday 27th & 28th October.
This time they’ve organised a weekend workshop with Rob Buckley who is Director of the Dorset Centre for Rural Skills who will teach you a building method that is very quick, very cheap and lots of fun to do.
In the construction of houses, straw bales can create extremely useful & artistic buildings (as pictured). They have good fire resistance & insulation properties and come from sustainable, ecologically sympathetic sources.
Tickets for the weekend course are £125 per person which includes a fabulous organic lunch.
Please book on 01983 566009. More details on the Website.
