Building with Earth - mini workshops - funded by MSDC spring/summer 2023


 
Here in East Anglia we have a rich heritage of building with earth.

Thanks to funding from Mid Suffolk District Council we are delivering these mini workshops FREE (that said - priority will be given to participants living in Mid Suffolk or Babergh).

We will look at the theory and practical side of making and using old style clay lump blocks, clay render, cob, daub and earth mortar. We will also be making a using a hybrid daub which complies with Building Regs.

  • Daub May 3rd or 27th
  • Light Straw Clay June 14th or 24th
  • Clay Lump (making, not using) July 5th or 8th
  • Earth Mortar and Cob August 9th or 12th
  • Clay Render September 6th or 9th
