This was a workshop we attended from April 1 - April 7. We completed one bamboo yurt with the fabric skin sewn together. We also used hemp insulation for the walls and a wood burning stove to keep it warm during the winter time. As you can see in the photos we built this while it was still cold enough for snow. This workshop was an action to provide a tribe with nomadic natural housing and a chance to live together!
