Join us for the first-ever hempcrete workshop at Mud Dauber School of Natural Building in Snow Camp, NC! April Magill and Tim Callahan are excited to share their knowledge about how to construct with hempcrete, and why it’s such a great building material (in regards to its performance, the agriculture it supports, and the healthy living environment it provides).

Expect to get lots of hands-on experience with mixing the material properly and safely, and then installing it into a movable formwork in a stud-framed wall system. There will also be an opportunity to experiment with natural plasters, which are a great option for creating the final wall surface on a hempcrete-insulated wall. In addition to the hands-on worksite experience, April and Tim will be presenting more details about hempcrete in a slideshow/Q+A format.

Greg and Danielle, founders of the Mud Dauber School, will lead a tour of the campus and demonstration cottages made of cob and straw wall systems.

In addition to our scheduled learning time, there is a wonderful community aspect to our workshops. Wholesome meals are provided each day, which are shared as a group in our community gathering space - including a pizza party dinner at our cob oven on Saturday! Plenty of unscheduled, leisure time is available for relaxing.
