Our earthbag earthship

Mid year, an article about building earthbag pools should be published in Mother Earth News.

We have our next earthbag tiny house workshop planned for June 24th - 27th, 2021, near Atlantic Beach, NC. Click this link to learn more.

Click this link to see the blog post I did about our April 2021 Earthbag Tiny House Workshop.

We have planned our next workshop! It will be at the height of mountain leaf season near Marshall, NC on Oct 15th - 17th, 2021. Please click here if you'd like more info.

We're super excited about our first planned workshop of April 2022, on the Navajo reservation in New Mexico. We're going to be building an earthbag tiny house and a ceremonial hogan. It's a week long workshop and in that time we hope to get the tiny house finished, foundation to roof, and at least get a good start on the hogan. Until the end of November, the workshop is 55% off. Hope to see you there! More info at sustainablelifeschool.com/workshops/

The April workshop fell through. We've listed a new one in Crestone, Colorado on June 1st - 5th. We're excited about this one as it will be the first time we have the opportunity to building with scoria, which is both lighter and more insulative than regular earthbags! More info at: https://sustainablelifeschool.com/workshops/.

We have couple of upcoming workshops north of Asheville, NC. The first will be an earthbag tiny house workshop on October 13th - 16th. The second will be a rocket stove cob pizza oven workshop on October 28 - 29th featuring none other than the man himself - Uncle Mud! We hope to see you there! More details at https://sustainablelifeschool.com/workshops/.

We have some upcoming workshops in October during leaf season in the Blue Ridge Mountains North of Asheville. The first will be building a large cob pizza oven. In the second we will be plastering the inside of the earthbag house we built during one of our 2022 workshops. Find more info about both at https://sustainablelifeschool.com/workshops/.

We're going back to Crestone in September (2024)! The last workshop there was amazing. The group was fantabulous and we had the opportunity to build with scoria (volcanic rock that is half the weight of dirt). We're getting that amazing opportunity again!

I recently finished my eBook about building our first house. It's called Building an Earthbag Round House: a Step-by-Step, Illustrated Guide. It's currently on sale for 50% off.

"In 2009, we built an earthbag round house that went on to become one of the iconic representations of the method. Over the following years, the house went viral on social media and was shared in countless articles, some, unfortunately, with incorrect information. In this heavily illustrated PDF, we finally set the record straight and share the details of the build from foundation to roof.

This 109 page interactive PDF contains 148 full-color pictures and details the entire build of our first earthbag round house. We’ve learned a lot in the 15 years since, so we also talk about our latest building techniques."

We have planned a Cob Oven Workshop Benefit at Woodson Branch Nature School on May 4th and 5th, 2024! My son goes to Woodson Branch and it is a wonderful place. This workshop will help them financially and help us build them a pizza oven for special events/fundraisers. I would normally charge at least $200 for a workshop like this but to encourage sign ups and participation, it's being offered at $90 for both days and $50 for one day. If we have at least eight people sign up (we currently have three) this workshop will move forward.
