MUDCRAFT: June

General Info:
Mudcraft is about crafting a life from the soil. It is about growing and creating, both as a community and in our individual connections to ourselves and to nature.

Throughout this series of events, we will learn dependable skills for building healthy soil, food security, intentional community, natural structures to live in, and so much more. Events will include immersive educational workshops, music by local artists, creative discussions, collaborative meals, and camping at Gobble-Berry Farmstead, a permaculture-based homestead, stewarded by the Somerville family, located in Amelia, VA.

June 3-4:
This series of events will center around hands-on learning natural building, specifically building a structure using straw bale and cob. Our June event will feature a two-part Intro to Wood Framing workshop with Elisha Somerville, which will invite participants to gain experience and confidence in both conventional stud framing and roundwood timber framing methods.

The event begins Saturday, June 3rd, at 10 am with the Intro to Wood Framing workshop, and ends Sunday, June 4th at noon. All attendees are welcome to camp on site at any of our designated camping areas.

A full schedule and details on music and other workshops will be announced soon!

Meals:
- Please bring your own lunch for Saturday!
- Saturdays dinner will be a collaborative meal, and we will be making a pot luck style stir fry! Rice and black beans will be provided as a base, but please bring veggies and protein ingredients to share that can either be cooked or re-heated on site. We have a large fridge and several outdoor cooking sites that can be used for meal prep.
- A breakfast bar of sprouted oatmeal will be provided on Sunday morning.
- Water is available on site, but please bring your own water bottle!
