Earthbuilding
I am currently combining my interest in earthbuilding with eLearning by offering online classes in adobe construction using Northern New Mexico College’s distance learning system. You need only basic internet and e-mail skills to participate.
New classes begin every January, June and August and give you the opportunity to become part of an active earthbuilding network based in Northern New Mexico. Many of the participants are in the process of building their own adobe homes and are eager to exchange information with others interested in earthbuilding.
Please download the course flyers below for a basic overview of the classes that I offer:
