The June seven day intensive straw bale workshop has come to a successful end. We had a great time together and built a wonderful structure that will become a play room for my kids (bonus of being a baler’s son!). Once again, friends were made and a good time was had, albeit with me cracking the whip in the background! 
I will take the month of July “off” and will be back at it in August with another seven day workshop in Jacksonville. I still have room for you if you want to learn and have fun with us.

As one of the attendees of the June workshop, I’ll just add that if you’re on the fence about whether to attend or not: Go for it!
A great time was had by all, Renee provided lots of *great* meals, and we all learned a lot from Andrew, who is a natural-born teacher; patient and thorough.
I was somewhat hesitant to attend a workshop this summer, primarily because of a back injury that prevented me from doing a lot of heavy lifting. But let me assure you that there are plenty of low-impact tasks that you can do after the bale walls are stacked (first day) to keep yourself busy.
Oh, one other bit of advice. On the last day, we combined all of the digital pictures that we had taken (using a multi-card adapter like this one) on to one laptop and burned CDs of all of them for everyone.
