This is the year when Earthships and living green become the “in” thing to do.  Spend the day at Blue Rock Station to learn more the basics of Earthship concepts.

Ever thought about building your own Earthship-type structure?  You can take a tour of Blue Rock Station, home of Ohio’s first Earthship to learn the techniques used to:

• Capture water for inside the house
• Creating indoor wetlands
• How to use wetlands effectively
• Create mud plaster
• Pound rammed-earth tires to create the basic structure of the Earthship

You’ll also have an opportunity to view Earthship design plans, ask questions about the basics of design, discover area professionals who could serve as professional resources, and take a tour of Ohio’s first Earthship.

This is the first time this workshop has been available.  Normally this type of information is provided in a consulting setting at a fee of $75 per hour.

Earthship & Sustainability Tour:

Re-thinking is the first step in your journey to create a sustainable living way of life.  Take a  tour of the 2,200 square foot house  that utilizes tires, cans, old barn wood, bottles, straw bales and mud to form a home heated by the sun, earth and wood.

Learn about the struggles and victories involved in building an Earthship (or other alternative structures).  Including:

• Zoning
• Inspections
• Plumbing
• Electrical
• Cistern use
• And much more…

You’ll have a pleasant time in the countryside at Blue Rock Station, meet some interesting people and enjoy high tea at the end of the time together.

Reservations are a must to avoid disappointment.  Be sure to bring along some sturdy work gloves, wear sensible shoes that can survive mud, and sun glasses, if it is a sunny day.  Workshop FAQ's.
