Description

Welcome to an immersive experience that combines history, culture and sustainability through the art of building with earth! We will start with a warm welcome and an enriching introduction about the properties of earth as an ancestral material, its functions and essential components. Then, we will give you your construction kit, which you will open and explore with enthusiasm. Next, you will learn how to prepare and prepare the soil along with the natural fiber, a key element in this technique. We will guide you in the elaboration of small balls of soil and fiber, which you will use to fill the structure, promoting active participation and hands-on learning. You will then carefully place these balls on the structure, creating unique layers and textures. The culminating moment will be the molding and refining of the wattle and daub wall, where you will notice how the traditional technique comes to life in your hands. To close, we will share final reflections that highlight the importance of preserving and valuing these ancestral techniques that connect tradition and sustainability. Come and live this experience that will offer you not only knowledge, but also a deep bond with our cultural roots!
