Ecological, climate-neutral and sustainable construction is on everyone’s lips.
But how does it work?
Course content:
We will show you how to achieve this with clay.
In the theoretical part you will learn more about
* Properties of clay
* Which clay building materials are available
* Possible uses for sustainable construction
In the practical part you will learn how to handle the individual clay building materials.
Where? Ziegelei Götz Hauptstr. 73, D- 96182 Reckendorf

Saturday: 10.00 a.m. - 5.00 p.m.
Course content:
Earth and water of the clay meet fire and air of the incense with
the coal or the teapot warmer…this creates a powerful connection of all 4 elements.
In this workshop we delve into the basics of smoking
using natural plant parts. Species,
Applications and equipment are explained and we can
Get to know the plants and their effects on a short tour.
The knowledge of smoking is rounded off by the production of a
incense burner.
The sustainable raw material clay can be used not only as
Building material also for the creative creation of an individual incense bowl

Building houses with
Straw and clay

Course content:
This workshop provides an introduction and, in the theoretical part, imparts basic knowledge about straw construction in statically load-bearing wooden structures as well as load-bearing straw construction and working with clay on straw.
In the practical part, the straw installation is carried out in prefabrication and in oriented wooden construction as well as load-bearing and the plastering of the straw bales with clay.
In the theoretical part we will deal with questions of planning and implementation of details and connections, electrical systems, fastenings, air and wind tightness, building physics, statics, different wooden structures and the correct selection and processing of straw bales themselves. What quality features must a straw bale have as a building material? How can and must it be processed in order to fulfil the function of a wall element? What is the difference between straw construction and using straw bales “only” as thermal insulation? The seminar is aimed at everyone who wants to learn about straw bale construction not only theoretically but above all practically.

In the practical part, you will learn about the different possibilities of straw construction and can try it out yourself, as well as plastering with clay. Experience or previous knowledge is an advantage but not required.
Participation is only possible for the entire period.
