Description:
Experience Dogon culture while learning how to make Adobe brick nubian vaults along side villagers. These structures use earthen bricks to span the roof and can be 100% earthen. Woodless construction like this design brings a sense of hope for proper use of nature's resources. Adobe mason Aboukar Kassogue of the town of Boro will co-teach with natural builder Scott Howard of Earthen Hand to bring you a truly cross-cultural workshop.

$1200
