Welcome to StrawBaleWorkshops.com
If you want to learn the techniques of straw bale construction you have come to the right place. My name is Andrew Morrison and I am a professional straw bale
builder and a co-founder of www.StrawBale.com. I have built many straw bale homes in my career and am the creator and builder of "The Straw Bale Village," a community of 15 straw bale and green built homes in Jacksonville, Oregon.
Over the last few years, I have begun to shift my focus from general contracting to consulting and teaching. In that time I have helped people all over the World build their straw bale homes. I have worked with people from Oregon to South Africa and Maine to Iraq.
As a co-founder and the technical expert at StrawBale.com, I am able to share my expertise with literally thousands of people everyday. Now I am taking that outreach even further by offering seven day intensive workshops so you can learn from me, hands on.
In just seven days, I will teach you the tips and techniques I have developed over my years building custom straw bale homes. We will cover everything from the basics of purchasing bales to the techniques of applying plaster. We will build either a 200 or 400 square foot studio, depending on the workshop location, and will also have afternoon lectures and Q&A sessions each day. Participants are encouraged to bring musical instruments for evening fun.
Everybody is different and some people learn better by reading, some by listening, and others by seeing. That said, there is no better way to learn straw bale construction than through hands on experience and there is no one better suited to teach you than a professional builder and consultant. My love for people and the art of straw bale construction come through in my work and I believe you will greatly benefit from that by participating in my workshops. I look forward to meeting you soon and teaching you all that I know.
