| STRAWBALE STUDIO 2017 REPORT: Internships, Activities, Reskilling & Projects. Gifts & Donars | The focus for 2017 was getting ready for the Strawbale Studio 20TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION! 20 Years ago Fran Lee wanted a structure, and I wanted to build. Many, many hands accomplished that goal. | .This process resulted in lots of completion on both the buildings and surrounding environments ! | Many skills learned and practiced, and friendships made as intern, volunteer & workshop folks co-created ! | This list contains many, but not all the the projects and happenings during 2017. Such richness ! I will continue to add to it, a work in process. |
