Habiter la terre

Habiter la terre offers courses on different aspects of autonomous living, specialising in natural building, basketry, woodwork, wild food and off-grid systems. We also take commissions for artisan baskets and wooden crafts made from locally-sourced material.

Building a tiny house with earth and straw

We are building a tiny strawbale house this summer, and are using the opportunity to organise workshops around some of the key aspects of this structure. Dates for these workshops are flexible, so long as we haven’t completed that part of the build yet. If you are interested in learning any of these techniques, get in touch with us as soon as possible to schedule a time over the summer.
