For those who want to turn rammed earth building into a career and build their own business we are offering a Rammed Earth Builder Apprenticeship Program.

Insulated Rammed Earth Wall Building Workshops

For aspiring homeowners, builders or those with inquiring minds. 

This is a 5 day hands on course that teaches key stabilized and insulated rammed earth construction techniques for structural walls … learn by doing!

The purpose of this class is to give people a comprehensive understanding of the basics of rammed earth construction. We want you to have a broad understanding of how to build your own walls once you have completed the workshop. You do not need to have construction experience, although it’s helpful.  You will learn about all aspects of making insulated rammed earth walls for houses or other structures. No matter what your level of experience our goal is to create rammed earth wall builders who are competently trained.

Students will learn by doing on this hands-on intensive course that focuses on:

• Material Selection
• Mix quality control
• Forming
• Installation of electrical boxes and conduits
• Insulated rammed earth methods
• Wall and sample testing
• Curing & sealing walls

In our workshop you will be shown exactly how to efficiently form and ram a wall like a pro. This course is actually real work; it involves formulating and preparing mixes, forming up for walls, shoveling and ramming the material in the forms, then removing the forms the next day and feeling the satisfaction of creating an object of beauty. You will also learn about proper raw material selection, tools to use  etc. with lots of time for Q & A about building rammed earth walls. All students will have online access to our comprehensive rammed earth building manual that covers most everything you wanted to know about the subject.
