Strawbale Building – Swansea – £50/day

Swansea, South Wales                      

You will be working on completing a structure which is a hybrid of cob and straw,  complete with a living turf roof. You will experience raising the straw bale walls, carving and inserting hazel rods and bale compression.

You will be working alongside the 'Down to Earth Project’. This project is a social enterprise specialising in Sustainability Education and Natural Building. Based on a beautiful site on the Gower Peninsula, Swansea, they offer a range of groundbreaking programmes for ‘disaffected’ young people and training programmes for adults in Traditional and Natural Building methods. As a centre for Sustainability Education (ESDGC), they offer educational programmes and training for workers from informal and formal educational sectors.
