June 4-14 World Village of Bamboo Artisans 
http://www.thefarm.org/etc/courses.html

Bamboo artisans, teachers, and students from many countries
and cultures will come together to share multi-disciplinary,
cross-fertilization re: tools, techniques, and ideas. This 9-day
event will be organized in a cooperative manner with all
participants sharing infrastructure tasks (cooking, cleaning,
etc.) in an egalitarian manner.


                                          Exchange
                                          of
                                          information
                                          and experience is our primary 
objective. An important
                                          secondary goal will be media 
exposure of some of the
                                          potentials of Bamboo as a 
short-cycle renewable material.

                                          Co-participants are invited to 
bring bedding, eating utensils
                                          and small tools. We will camp out 
amidst forest, fields and
                                          Bamboo groves. Shelter is 
available for those without tents.
                                          There is a pond for swimming and 
bathing and a good spring
                                          with sweet water. As a group, we 
will undertake one or two
Bamboo projects. There will also be some scheduling so that invited experts 
can more formally present their insights
and techniques.
