About this event

  • 1 day 6 hours

If you're interested in developing practical knowledge and skills in ecological building techniques, or exploring alternatives for building an affordable home based on permaculture and biotecture (Earthship) design principles, then this two day workshop is for you.

At this practical hands-on workshop you will learn how to:

  • evaluate earth components
  • mix, stomp and fashion cob
  • mix and apply natural renders
  • construct and finish cob walls
  • prepare and lay an earth floor
  • add innovations and flourishes
  • work productively as a team with shared purpose


Join us for a weekend at Victoria's first Earthship in beautiful Kinglake Victoria and experience the festival atmosphere of joyful, creative and collaborative home building.

Sleep in the solar passive ecologically designed fire-resilient Earthship, share delicious home-cooked meals and enjoy the warmth of good company around the fire-pit under the Milky Way.

Organized by

Kinship Kinglake

Kinship Kinglake is a post-Black Saturday, eco-resilient Earthship designed to withstand extreme bushfires and the threats of climate disruption. Kinship Kinglake and owner-builder Daryl Taylor have been featured across a wide range of media, including ABC Radio National, RRR FM, The Age and The National Sustainable Living Festival.

At Kinship, Daryl regularly conducts property tours, hosts workshops and runs short courses.

> Kinship tours include a detailed site inspection of a global model Earthship inspired dwelling and the biotecture retrofit of a pre-existing solar-passive mud-brick house alongside an extensive and open discussion of the processes and concepts that drive the project forward.

> Workshops covering biotecture natural building and permaculture garden design are run with Green Architect and Natural Builder, Laura Marini.

> Short courses will be launched in the second half of 2024. Topics include: systems thinking, pattern literacy, futures studies, disaster preparedness and environ-mental health.
