STRAWBALE STUDIO 2008/09

Eileen has wanted to build with strawbales for many years now, inspired by the work of
Amazonails and other sustainable builders.  It took me longer to catch the bug but last
summer we went on a weekend workshop in the UK and I became hooked.   Cassie (our
youngest daughter) became equally interested at the same workshop so came out to
Hotnitsa to work with us on the build.

The following links show the progress (and sometimes lack of progress) on a month by
month basis.  We also have a slideshow (with music!) that can be viewed by clicking
