Workshop II
Building with Clay and Straw
▦ DATE: Sat 29 April – Mon 1 May 2023
▥ LOCATION: The Brickworks, Bellingdon
▨ WITH: Will Stanwix
Join us for a three-day workshop, led by Will Stanwix (That Hempcrete Guy) and Caitlin McNamara, on the theory and practical and experimental use of building with clay and straw. The workshop welcomes people of all building abilities, beginners as well as experienced practitioners. All materials and equipment are provided.
LOCATION: The Brickworks, Bellingdon HP52UR, United Kingdom
TRANSPORT / ACCOMMODATION: Material Cultures is rooted in a low-carbon approach so please travel to the workshop by public or shared transport if you can. We will be trying to do the same. There will be a shuttle from Chesham Underground Station and a WhatsApp group for participants to coordinate sharing lifts and accommodation, there are plenty of options for camping and B&Bs nearby.
ACCESS: Some of the workshops will be held on rough terrain and may pose issues for those in wheelchairs or with reduced mobility. Reach out to us if you would like more information and photos in order to assess together whether you would be able to access the site.
PRICE: Many people are under-represented in construction and architecture and we want to do all we can to help respond to this. Material Cultures is a not-for-profit and this workshop doesn't receive external funding but we have tried to keep the price as low as possible. A quarter of places will be subsidised 50% for people who don't have access to resources for the cost of the workshop. This will operate on a trust basis, first-come first-served. We’re committed to improving this as our education work develops. Price includes tuition, materials, tools and refreshments.
£300/person Full Price
£150/person Subsidised Price
BOOKING: There is a limited number of places on the workshop and booking is essential.
