About this Event
Ever wanted to know how today’s best rammed earth homes are built?
At this fun, informative and interactive event, you can hear about how ancient methodology combines with modern engineering, watch a demonstration, then lend a hand creating some rammed earth ‘test blocks.’ This is an engaging and informative snapshot of what building rammed earth homes looks like as well as how it feels. You’ll even get to choose from a collection of historic rammed earth test blocks to take home – they make the best-ever door stops!
Your host Paul Geraets of Terra Firma Earth Building is New Zealand’s most prolific rammed earth designer and builder, known around the country for over 30 years of building for social and environmental good.
Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase the recently released book about Terra Firma and other kiwi rammed earth builders, ‘Building the Future; From the Ground Up’ at a special price.
Please wear clothes suitable for the weather on the day as this event is partially indoors/outdoors.
Cost: $35
