What an amazing week this was. We just finished a seven day intensive workshop in Williams, Oregon with great success. As always, I feel like I have a whole new group of friends from all over the world. There were people from Oregon, California, Washington, Wisconsin, Illinois, Scotland and London (soon to be back home in Israel). What an amazing group of people!!!
We finished up ahead of schedule on this cute little building and managed to throw in some acid staining on the concrete floors Sunday morning! The food was great and the company even better. We were even blessed to have a master lime plasterer in the group all the way from Scotland. I have never learned so much about the science and art of this great material as I did this last week. Thank you Steven!
This was the first workshop of the summer for me and I am fully charged and ready to go with the rest of my workshops. I am super excited to teach people the new information I gained about lime plaster and the ever growing wealth of information I hold around straw bale construction. I always learn something new at every workshop, and this was no different (even beyond the lime plaster information).
I have 4 more seven day intensive straw bale workshops planned for this summer. The next workshop is June 15-21 near Willow Creek, California. I really hope that you will join me. You can learn more about what I teach and sign up at www.StrawBaleWorkshops.com.

Hi Tamra. I will be posting the information in several other posts over the next few days. I think each piece is important enough to warrants its own entry. That makes it easier to search later on too.
