WORKSHOPS

The Cal-Earth Institute (California Institute of Earth Architecture) in collaboration with Vide Terra organize a SuperAdobe workshop in Italy. ​ This 8 days intensive course teaches how to apply the SuperAdobe/earthbag technique for a dome construction. The attendees will receive an official certificate of completion by the Cal-Earth Institute. ​ During the workshop we will build an earth dome with a door opening and a window. The purpose of the course is to give the theoretical and practical tools useful to selfbuild a small earth structure or living space.

Vide Terra in collaboration with the Maestro Danilo Dianti and Casa di paglia Felcerossa organize a theoretical and practical SuperAdobe & Cocciopesto Workshop in Sicily, near the majestic Etna volcano. The workshop is composed of two modules and it puts together the skills of earth building and use of lime. During the first part of the workshop we will create an outdoor shower using the SuperAdobe (earthbag) building method. The second part will be dedicated to the ancient Cocciopesto plastering technique...

This four days workshop will focus on thatching techniques (to create roofs with plants fibers) that use straw, reed and broom. The workshop will be held by Alan Jones, Master Thatcher from Wales. Students will benefit from Alan’s forty years of experience in traditional and sustainable thatching which spans historic and experimental archeology as well as contemporary thatching and advice for self builds. Part of the workshop will be dedicated to thatching a SuperAdobe Earth Dome using broom (a local plant available in most Mediterranean regions).
