Rammed Earth Workshop

Durham (NC) Friends Meeting (Quakers) hosted a rammed earth workshop at our land. Click on pic above for link to entire album (Picasa). Images are of a sculpture that functions as an architectural study, at 1:1 scale, of a section of our north wall. The completed study will measure 96″ from the top of the concrete. Material is unadulterated clay rich, subsoil, compacted by hand tools.
