03 Jan Sara Grace Crippen
I am the co-owner of Clay Sand Soul, a natural building business based in the Columbia River Gorge. My partner, Josh Burg, and I are committed to teaching others about the power and possibilities of Clay as a building material, as well as other locally abundant materials like sand, straw, stone, and wood.
We work with cob, straw bale, clay and lime plasters & paints, clay sculptures, earthen floors, living roofs, and reciprocal roofs. We feel that building one’s own shelter is an innate human right that has been slowly brought into the field of specialists and created work sites devoid of community and cycles of reciprocity.
Our vision and hope is to create community and foster social healing through the workshops and work sites that we facilitate and manage. Natural building is for everyone…I hope to see you at a session!
Sara Crippen will be sharing a Clay as Functional Art & Shelter: intro to Natural Building,
