Project: Earthen Floor
In this permaskills Natural Building Workshop we will make an Earthen Floor for a 7m diameter geodesic dome for Alexandra and thrive Malta. The workshop will only contain the first 2 layers. You will get everything you need to finish the final layer during the course. The final layer will be happening after the first 2 layers have properly dried. Depending on weather conditions this can take 7-14 days. We will be finishing the final layer in cooperation with the Estonian artist Maari Soekov.
Workshop: Natural Building Introduction – Earthen Floors
This permaskills Natural Building Workshop consists of theoretical instruction (in English or English & German) with lectures & graphics as well as hands-on construction for 6 – 7 hours a day. The successful completion of these Workshops gives you a Natural Building Certificate.
In this permaskills Natural Building Workshop you can build an Earthen Floor with your own hands. We are trying to use only natural materials, so you know exactly what you are working and surround yourself with.
