InSynch ran a Rammed earth course and a Workshop over a 2-day period in March 2013 just outside the town of Robertson in the Western Cape on the Long Valley Farm.
Eva and Terrence Winberg are building their home, the 'Bumbelbee Cottage' on the farm using a combination of conventional brick n' mortar and the ancient construction form known as Rammed Earth.
InSynch were the Rammed Earth consultants on the project and they took this opportunity to run the workshop and course.
