NATURAL BUILDING
& Sustainable Living Skills
Strawbale Studio SBS interior Enthusiastic Interns Deanne Bednar Kensington Kids Cottage
Natural Building helps us connect again to our local natural environment,
to our own intuitive and innate creativity, and to each other.
It helps us to shift from an industrial, and often toxic building process
to one that is affordable, empowering, community-building and life-affirming.
We are co-creating ~ learning to dance in balance with nature.
We are learning to ..."live ingeniously in a low-carbon world !" a quote by the Zero Footprint organization .

MISSION The STRAWBALE STUDIO Natural Building Educational Program works collaboratively to
provide educational workshops, volunteer opportunities, outreach, exhibits and presentations both on & off-site. By reconnecting with nature and community, activities seek to lower the ecological footprint of building practices by empowering others to take part in the construction and design of structures and supportive environments that are ecologically sustainable and beautiful. Additional activities include The Rocket Stove Heated Bench, Permaculture Gardening, Worm Composting, Solar Cooking & Drying, Sustainable Community Modeling & Natural Arts.
