Clearly the Ottawa, Ontario workshop location is highly coveted! My workshops are known to fill up, that’s not anything new; however, to be so close to full this far out from the start date is not as common. Like the title of this entry says, I only have 5 spots left in the workshop. If you plan to join us in Ottawa, I suggest you sign up today to make sure you can get a spot. The seven day, comprehensive straw bale workshop is scheduled for September 13-19. We’ll start at 8am on Monday morning and finish up at 4pm on Sunday.

You can learn all about the workshop details at www.StrawBaleWorkshops.com, but I want to give you a sense of what we’ll cover. You’ll learn about foundation options, framing details, and heating/cooling systems. You’ll experience, hands-on, toe up creation, bale stacking, retying, notching, shaping, electrical installations, plumbing installations, mesh application, niche creation, truth windows, and plastering. Basically, if it’s related to building a straw bale house, I’ll teach you how to do it.

What’s more, you’ll make a bunch of new friends. As one participant ion Montana said this year: “I learned a ton, had fun, and met great people – some of whom will be friends for a long time.” I’ve had several people tell me that the workshop was literally a life changing experience. That’s pretty amazing and something I’m really touch by and proud of. I really make every effort to create a great learning experience for everyone and I hope you’ll join me to see just how great it is.

Of course, if you can’t make the Ontario workshop, there are other dates and locations available to you. You can join me next week (if you’re really fast) in Prospect, Tennessee. That workshop is scheduled for July 5-11. You can also visit with me in Grants, New Mexico from August 9-15 or in Junction City, California September 27-October 3. I even have a FREE plastering workshop in Jacksonville, Oregon July 31-August 1.

So your options are many. I hope to see you at a workshop soon and share the experience with you in person.
