Assist in the construction of a simple load-bearing strawbale structure to protect the pumphouse, and expect to talk about:

the benefits, details and possibilities of strawbale construction; how to protect from humidity and vermin, plastering vs cladding; load-bearing versus infill bale building.

The workshops is facilitated by multi-faceted folk, enthusiastic about all things low-tech, DIY and resilient, so expect to talk about other related topics:

permaculture principles, systems thinking, building with salvaged materials, sustainable living hacks…

If you have your own plans for building, these can be discussed.

and, as always at Relick, there’s great food and company.
