SUMMARY:Earth Plastering Workshop
DESCRIPTION:<p>In this three day workshop we will explore the use of earth plasters for both internal and external work.  We will learn about the advantages and limitations of using earth as a building material\, how to test for suitability of local clays and how to prepare plaster mixes on site. </p>
 <p>The workshop will have a very strong practical focus\, giving you plenty of opportunity to get a bit dirty and practice the newly learned skills.<br />
 We will be working on the Whare Uku of Te Mauri Tau\, a recently built mud brick workshop/teaching space that will feature exterior and internal earth plasters.</p>

SUMMARY:Biointensive Growing 3 day workshop
DESCRIPTION:<p>A 3 day workshop covering the basic level theory and practice of Biointensive gardening.  Biointensive Growing is a system that has been developed by John Jeavons after over 30 years of studying the ancient agriculture systems that actually grew soil\, and great civilizations.  He has used that knowledge together with his own extensive research to put together the Bio-intensive system\, which is about growing the most amount of food in the smallest area for the least amount of energy used (and water)\, in a way that everybody can do.</p>

SUMMARY:Timbrel Vault Building
DESCRIPTION:<p>A building technique that dates back 600 years and is now being rediscovered due to it's low use of building materials and therefore low embodied energy. Made from locally pressed tiles\, beautiful spanning shapes are built without extensive formwork and at minimal cost. The designs of these dome shells work with pure compression and no reinforcement steel.<br />
 At Awhi farm a hand press is used to make the tiles out of our local materials of pumice and stabilized with cement.</p>
