Strawbale Studio Mission ~  Connecting People & Nature

By co-creating and connecting with nature, we harmonize with – and support – Life.  And besides . . . it’s FUN !

The Strawbale Studio Natural Building Education Program seeks to lower the ecological footprint of building and living practices by empowering others to take part in the construction and design of structures and supportive environments that are ecologically sustainable and beautiful.
