WHEN: Saturday, April 25, 2026 (9am-5pm) & Sunday, April 26, 2026 (9am-3pm)
Join us for this Charleston Hempcrete Building Workshop!!! Students will be co-building the hempcrete (hemp-lime) walls of a permitted, historic accessory building in downtown Charleston, SC. Learn how you can utilize this plant-based, biogenic insulation system for historic restorations, conventional renovations, and for new construction.
Expect to get lots of hands-on experience with mixing the material properly and safely, and then installing it into a movable formwork in a stud-framed wall system. We will discuss different options for utilizing hempcrete as a part of a building’s wall assemblies. Students will be exposed to other materials and methods, both hemp-based and more.
In addition to our scheduled learning time, there is a wonderful community aspect to our workshops. We will provide lunch and dine together each day.
