Have you ever thought about leaving the city and making a tree-change? Have you ever looked at a tiny-house online and thought, Hey, I could build that? Well coming up this September is a jam-packed weekend workshop for those of you who either work in the green building business or would like to know more about off-grid living and more sustainable lifestyle options. Earthship Australia is hosting an event at CERES Environment Park, Brunswick, for the public and professionals interested in Earthship and other alternative building styles, providing an opportunity to learn, network, and engage with the growing do-it-yourself movement which holds regular workshop events around the country for you to get your hands dirty, meet some like-minded people and hone in on a design for your ideal home to be built with your own two hands. Come either for the day seminar on Saturday, which includes a full site tour of CERES environment park, to see what inspiring ideas they have down there and an afternoon of seminars hosted by engineers, architects, natural builders, planners, solar experts and our in-house green plumber, to give you the low down on how to move towards building a cheap and home-made natural home which reflects the way you want to live! Highlights include a talk by Martin Freney who has achieved the first Australian permit for an Earthship; a building made out of car tyres, bottles, cans and other recycled materials and is coming to share his story about how you can achieve your own Earthship project. Other highlights include Sustainability drinks on the Saturday night and a full-day workshop on Sunday to learn some unusual building methods which you can replicate at home or on your future property. Come for some or all of this engaging weekend. See earthshipaustralia.org.au/earthship-weekend-workshop---melbourne--13th14th-september.html for more details and to book in!
