in the summer of 2008 we ran a free low-impact building course at the HEAP, teaching skills including building with cob, cordwood, strawbale, as well as drystone-walling and lime plastering - all skills that some of us had learned at the course we went on in April 08 down at Heartwood Eco Community.
Over the week-long course 36 people came to the HEAP to learn, experiment and build, and by the sunday we (nearly) had a finished structure.
here’s a few pictures of the structure:
