>          Four Elements Farm is hosting two work parties applying earthen 
> plasters to a strawbale / rammed earth house. Learn how to test, mix and 
> apply the ancient recipe of horse manure, clay soil and sand. The first 
> of two workshops will be sat June 26th from 9 am till 4 or 5 pm. The 
> party will include soil analysis and the process of testing various 
> layers of the earthen coats starting with a clay slip, followed by a rich 
> sand clay ratio and finally a rich straw clay ratio. Be prepared to get 
> very muddy, enjoy good food, drink and friends. The first of two 
> workshops will be a bit more involved while the second will be offered to 
> a larger group thus a bit more relaxing. So if you are ready to get your 
> hands and feet muddy and put in a good days work come on out and enjoy the fun.
