Natural Building Series

Rock Bottom Ranch and Aspen T.R.E.E. team up once again to bring valley residents the opportunity to learn a powerful and practical set of skills. Participants of our Natural Building Series learn about different natural building techniques: straw bale, light straw clay, cob, rammed earth, and adobe brick while actually constructing a traditional earthen bread oven. The bread oven then becomes a permanent fixture at Rock Bottom Ranch which will be used for many years and classes to come! 

After the series, participants will have the skill set to build their own mud structures at home using the MOST local of materials... Talk about green building (or maybe brown building?)!
