Learn how to install a super insulating strawbale wall & have fun in the process!!  Sigi Koko will teach you the skills to install and detail a strawbale wall to be durable & code-compliant in this wet & humid climate.

This workshop will be taught by natural building expert, Sigi Koko, who has helped design & build over 20 strawbale homes.  You can expect to learn how to detail appropriately for our wet & humid climate, the benefits and challenges of various natural materials, specifics for getting a building permit, as well as plenty of one-on-one guidance and hands-on experience.

The home to be worked on is the centerpiece of Michael & Ashley Judd's permaculture homestead on 24 acres in Frederick, MD.  The house features rubble trench foundation, strawbale walls, clay & lime plasters, an adobe floor, and a living roof.
