INQUIRE NOW!  ONLY 2 OF 6 SPACES LEFT IN NATURAL BUILDING INTENSIVE  (MAY
1-JUNE 15, 2010)

Out of our deep love for clay, straw, sand, and wood, and because of our
belief that shelter is both a basic human right and a noble art, Living
Craft Project has been born.  Living Craft Project is a non-profit school
that teaches natural building and explores the art of a handmade life.  We
work to equip people with sustainable life skills, honoring our essential
human needs through craftsmanship.

Living Craft Project happily announces the successful completion of the 2009
natural building apprenticeship.  We have invited 6 new dedicated students
to join us for a six week natural building intensive. During the intensive,
students will build a 150 square foot modified load-bearing straw bale
cottage, and gain experience in hand-crafted earthen plasters and troweled
earthen floors on a 350 square foot straw bale home. 

The intensive will lead students through both the structural and finish
aspects of building an earthen home, with a high level of attention to
craftsmanship and skill development. Modules include, but are not limited
to: carpentry, wall and roof systems, materials harvesting and processing,
earthen plasters, earthen floors, and clay artistry. Classroom discussions
include, but are not limited to: foundation design, passive solar design,
natural wall system design, and pattern language recognition. 

The intensive is for a dedicated few who want to gain the hand skills to
build safely and healthily. Each student will also have the opportunity to
participate in the community life of Quail Springs, with access to events
and feasts of all kinds. For more information go to
<http://www.livingcraftproject.org/> www.livingcraftproject.org and

spring water, camping, library, and facilities).
