Muddy Hands “form” the Future of Building.
Today in Flagstaff, Arizona, kids from across the Plateau met with Beyond Adobe at the Coconino Community College for an adobe brick making class. The kids learned to identify soils good for adobe brick, field test the soil, mix the mud and yes, hand-form the mud into the forms to make 3″ x 2″ x 8″ mud bricks.
The kids, much to the displeasure of surrounding parents, greatly appreciated the “hands-on” approach, as illustrated by muddy hands below.
Stay tuned for next year’s event and thank you to all staff and volunteers who put on a great Sustainable Living Fair!
