pre:fab xmas mixer^W036

Groupwork and pre:fab held an end of year Mixer to celebrate the milestones achieved over the previous twelve months and to thank all of our members, clients, friends, family, mentors and supporters for their efforts in contributing to and building the Groupwork and pre:fab community. Attendees were asked to dress in old clothes and come prepared to participate in an interactive demonstration of mud mixing, paper shredding, earth brick making, potato stamp crafting, and hot dog assembly. They could take home a lightweight adobe brick in a custom stamped party bag.

Groupwork supports the adoption and development of natural building methods by the architecture discipline. This event was an opportunity to promote this cause to our members, as well as give attendees a tactile experience of the materials and process in a low stakes environment. The event was made possible with the guidance and expertise of master earth builder Alan Drayton of Biobuild.
