MgO and HEMP building Finishing Workshop Details (week 2) 50% off if you attended the 1st week

We are offering a 2nd workshop 7-day MgO and HEMP building finishing workshop.  Of all of the building and finishing we have done, the MgO and Hemp is our favorite combonation of materials for it’s non-toxic, breathability and ease of use! 

From August 16th through August 23rd  we will be sharing our passion for Magnesium Oxide and Hemp as building materials while finishing the home that we started. Students will learn the Cast-in-Place method of forming up walls resulting in a well insulated and sustainable wall system. After the walls are done we fill the rafters with hemp and deck the roof. Finishing includes window and door installation, MgO/hemp flooring options and stuccoing the exterior/interior.

MgO cement is an ancient material used to build the Great Wall of China and the Egyptian Pyramids. When coupled with hemp it has a low carbon footprint, it will continue to sequester carbon even after the building is complete and it acts as a filter for the air that enters the building.  Our certified instructor will guide you through all the steps of this workshop.

Evenings will include music around the campfire (feel free to bring your instruments), dancing, and connecting with like-minded, intriguing people from all across the country and (sometime) the world!

We will close this workshop at 20 students, so don’t wait to sign up! The tuition will be $1,350 CAD for the 7-day workshop for 1st time students AND $675 CAD for returning students. On-site accommodations and meal plans are available through the host. You can find details on all that below, and you will receive a link after you sign up to make those arrangements.
