There is camping, with compost loos and showers. A food van is being organised. We need to ensure the charity’s costs are covered and need to ask for a small daily payment for camping.
If you would prefer to find local accommodation please go ahead and arrange that yourself. There are places locally but they won't be as fun as the camping field!
Clayfest Activities 2015
Ebuki is at an exciting pivotal moment in its history, poised to alter the relationship between earth building and the wider construction community and culture. The circular economy of materials is more urgently front of mind now than ever before. Outside of earth building, the construction industry’s problems with toxic and polluting materials and practices are slowly being brought to light and must change.
The route to that change is through alternatives such as the contrasting healthy culture of earth building; now being taught in educational institutions through Ebuki’s impactful train the trainer model, which is now ripe to be scaled up and rolled out with much greater reach, backed up with the solid foundations of the ECVET and NVQ learning outcome units that Ebuki has developed.
After long pandemic online years, we are extremely grateful for the Patronage of H.G. Matthews which will allow Clayfest 2024 to happen.
“My work has been isolating at times - this felt like a valuable support network as well as a place to make new contacts.”
