We have been very fortunate to have gained our experience with Barbara, Bee and Chug on several strawbale projects in the UK, with Paulina on her workshop in Poland and with Ron and Adrian on their green oak course in Wales. If you are planning to build a natural home then we recommend you join the courses and volunteer projects available via the learning calendar.
