[Strawbale] Natural Building Intensive Program at Yestermorrow Design/Build School, Vermont

[Mary Niles]

Greetings,

My apologies for the cross-post, but I want this announcement to reach as
many interested people as possible.

There are still a few spots open for this wonderful program beginning
this spring in Vermont:

Yestermorrow’s Natural Building Intensive is a comprehensive 11-week
program that provides the opportunity to develop a range of natural
building skills for owner-builders and aspiring professional natural
builders alike.

Students enrolled in the Summer 2008 program will help design and build a
complete structure from start to finish- a workshop handcrafted from
natural stone, straw, timber, and clay right down the road from
Yestermorrow in Fayston, Vermont.

There are no prerequisites for entering the Natural Building Intensive
program. Applications will be accepted on a rolling admissions basis
through May 1, 2008. The program begins on May 11, 2008 and includes
tuition for ten classes, plus an additional 3 weeks of tutorials in
between the classes covering all aspects of the building process. Tuition
is $5,800 plus food and lodging, or $4,800 without the three tutorial
weeks.

Yestermorrow’s Natural Building Intensive is a unique course of study that
brings together a collaborative group of experienced and enthusiastic
instructors with students in an in-depth, hands-on experience in natural
building, from the design and planning stages through the finishing
touches.

Yestermorrow offers a number of scholarship opportunities for students.
Our goal is to make our classes affordable for everyone who is interested.


Please feel free to forward this message along to anyone you think might
be interested.  Thanks so much!


Warmly,
