The lime workshop at the Lime Centre was fantastic! We made a brick wall with lime mortar and learnt the tricky technique of rendering with lime. Bob showed us how to make lime putty - mix previously fired lime with water and FIZZ BUBBLE lime putty! (then leave for 6 months before you can use it).
Bob also showed us his llamas and the straw bale llama house we all saw in the lecture.
What is the Sustainable Construction Programme?
The sustainable construction programme is a student initiative at Oxford Brookes University which aims to raise awareness of sustainable construction as well as providing practical experience in sustainable building. Workshops involve hands-on tuition from sustainable construction experts for a small group of students and these are followed by an evening lecture to a wider audience.

Wow! Looks like a fantastic 'hands-on' experience. Something that could and perhaps should be incorporated into the architectural education? I'll certainly be looking forward to the timber and bamboo workshops
