The Clay House Summer Workshops focus on practical work and ecological construction using locally available natural materials: clay, straw, wood, and earth.
We work step by step, allowing each participant to experience complete construction processes — from structure to finishes — using traditional techniques adapted to contemporary contexts.







The Clay House Summer Workshops are structured around ecological building modules, approached practically and step by step:

Wattle and daub (clay infill timber structure) and cordwood (roundwood masonry with natural mortar), finished with clay, sand, and straw plasters.
From foundation to finish, focusing on performance and thermal efficiency.
Natural floor systems: layers, recipes, and application.
Structural principles, waterproofing, and vegetation layers.

Morning: practical work within the chosen module.
Afternoon: time in nature – walks, easy hikes, relaxation.
The pace is balanced and adapted to the group.


Hands-on building balanced with outdoor time, walks, and moments of stillness.




Camping in your own tent, a simple and authentic experience aligned with natural rhythms.


Three daily meals prepared with local ingredients, vegetarian and omnivore options available.
