The Strawbale  Studio   

         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 .
