Light clay insulation project - ljubljana

Waiting for the time we will built our straw house in a beautiful little paradise place in primorska somewhere, let's practice!
I looks that for some more time we will still be in Ljubljana so we decided to work a bit on this beautiful old house in Rudnik.



From 12th Oktober til 20th we are isolating the roof.
With the help of Peter, a mojster of natural building working the field for a decade, we decided to make some changes in this old concrete house with natural materials. (to make it less of a fridge in the winter).



The first phase is the isolation of the ceiling. We apply a "Light Clay" , a mix of straw and glina.
The joy is to dig the hands in fresh glina from the forest, Barley  bales (ječmen) from 15km away, and apply them under a wooden floor.

 For sure you get baby skin on the hands (maybe a bit the nose too) from using clay and give us a good hand to finish this before the cold days come!

Feel like passing by for an afternoon?
come for a day? or two?
we do rather normal working hours, and probably not weekend...
Having little logistic capacities, it doesn't make sence to be more than three, so i would rather go for 1, 2 or 3 person at a time... and do private workshop!




So if you have some time and feel like learning about natural straw project and giving a hand,
very welcome!

Better to contact by mail, the mixer (mešalec) doesn't always let me hear my phone!

If you are up for it, contact me, give the time that would fit you and we see!




have a good day!
