SUMMARY:Hemp Slap Workshop 2.0
DESCRIPTION:Learn to Build with Hemp and Lime · Hands-On · 3 Days · Real Building · Himalayas
\n
\nEver wanted to build something real with your hands using materials that are carbon-negative\, breathable\, and older than cement?
\n
\nHemp Slap Workshop 2.0 is a three-day residential workshop in the hills above Dharamshala where you will learn the science and craft of hemp-lime construction from the ground up. Not in a classroom. In an actual old family home in Chola village\, working on real walls with real materials.
\n__________________________________________________
\n
\nWhat you will do:
\n
\n🌿 Day 1 - Theory + Mix Making
\nUnderstand the science behind hempcrete and hemp-lime plaster. Then make the mixes yourself — different ratios\, side by side and learn to read consistency by hand.
\n
\n🧱 Day 2 - Hempcrete Blocks
\nFull day hands-on. Set up formwork\, cast actual hempcrete blocks\, tamp and observe. You leave knowing the difference between a good block and a bad one.
\n
\n🏠 Day 3 - Hemp Plastering + Closing
\nWatch a master plasterer apply hemp-lime plaster on the actual wall of the house while our lead trainer explains every move. Then you try it yourself. Followed by final discussions\, certificates\, and a closing ceremony.
