The Nappan Project, situated on 100 acres of mixed forest land 7 km outside
of Amherst Nova Scotia is a Not for Profit organisation dedicated to
experimentation and promotion of appropriate technology and global climate
change education.
The Nappan Project is holding a three day straw Bale Workshop
October 13,14 and 15. This workshop is designed as an introduction to
Straw Bale construction, and the Nappan Project. The focus of this
workshop is to give a wide variety of people an affordable, hands on
opportunity to explore the fun and environmentally sustainable techniques
of Straw Bale Construction.
The $40 workshop includes camping, and a membership to the Nappan
Project as well as the opportunity to participate in the building of a
Straw Chicken Coop\Green House. This is a design featured by Bill Mollison
in his Introduction to Permaculture Design.
This workshop offers the experience of building and experimenting
with Straw Bale. Although we have experience in Straw Construction we are
not experts and do not claim to be giving the last word on Straw
Construction. Expert workshops of this nature are priced over $200 and
teach more refined techniques In this process we are experimenting in the
spirit of Permaculture and Appropriate technology, trying to get as many
materials as possible on site. An example of this is that we will be
finishing the wall with a cob parging which we will be mixing from the soil
on site.
Agenda:
Friday Night: Arrival of participants, Introduction to Nappan Project and
the site and project, Straw construction tools, pot Luck dinner and Video
presentation of Straw Building Projects.
Saturday: Wall raising and building of Roof Plate
Sunday: Wall Compaction, roof Placement and community mud party, parging
the straw with the first layer of cob.
