Sunday August 15, 2021 Strawbale Studio hosted an exhibit table at the Hazon Festival at Marygrove Conservancy Campus in Detroit.
Deanne Bednar & Gene Vilenni brought the Traveling Turtle Earth Oven fired it up and made mini Pizzas, gave out Cob balls, made of subsoil, displayed natural building books, models and such… with the goal of sharing what goes on at Strawbale Studio: connecting people and nature! And… Thanks so Shane & Levi for helping load & unload the tremendously heavy Traveling Turtle Oven.
So imagine Exhibit Tents, spread out about every 20 feet, and cars driving in a snaking line to each of the about 40 tents representing diverse projects in sustainability. From 9a – 4p cars came, one by one past our tent, and for 1.1 minutes we got to share the essence of Strawbale Studio. So every 1.1 minutes (yes, truly) …music played, and all the cars moved forward to the the next exhibit.
Each car had 1 to 6 or more folks in it…from young to old…and for a moment we connected around natural building and sustainable skills. Fun, intense, meaningful. Ah.
