Building with Earth and Fibre
A course for Designers with Amaco at Les Grands Ateliers, France
EBUKI partnered with the inspirational team at Amaco to create a practical and technical course on the use of Earth and Fibre materials for Designers.
Half of the participants on this fun course were Erasmus+ funded, and half were self-funded design professionals looking to learn about the application of these materials.
“The team at Amaco are especially good at making complicated stuff more simple and accessible”
Comprising sensory experiments, field tests, earth experiments, discussions and lectures and hands-on sessions on rammed earth, cob and adobe, wattle and daub, light earth, bricks, mass earth and poured earth, this course packed in plenty of value, prompting much discussion and debate amongst the mix of younger learners and professionals.
