AHMC training day
Saturday 4th May 2024 saw a large group don the safety goggles for a day of hands-on hemp building. Ben Convery from The Australian Hemp Masonry Company guided the students through the subtleties of mixing lime, water and hemp hurd, filling framework and gentle tamping. After only a couple of hours, the formwork was removed to reveal gorgeous insulative walls. These will continue to harden over time to an impressive strength.
