You may have noticed the 2012 Natural Building Workshop page updated with new information, and that the Timber Framing Workshop and Straw Bale Building Workshop pages are password protected. That is because that are not yet ready for public viewing.
So do not fear, you have not missed your opportunity! Check back soon for more information and an application. The information unvieling is coming up quick, I promise.
Hi there, I’m Ziggy. In 2008, I launched The Year of Mud while building my first natural home. This website is a collection of personal stories and experiences building with clay, straw, and wood over the past 15+ years. A few of the things that get me fired up are natural plasters, timber framing, & Japanese architecture. In 2012, we started offering Natural Building Workshops, so you can learn essential hands-on skills to build your own natural home.
