Event Description

Papercrete is a natural building technique featuring a fiber-reinforced cement application. Participants will learn many ways to apply recycled material such as paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, as well as natural materials that are readily available – like dirt, sand, clay, grass clippings, and straw –into construction and landscaping. With a small amount of cement and lime, natural fibers mixed together create a strong bond that is sustainable and practical in building and is more in harmony with the environment.
