It is in the planning stage but once I am out there I would like to work with the permaculture, natural building and art communities to create a nice example artistic farm - meaning stepped, arched and contoured adobe, cob or strawbale walls, rooms and corridors for the public to visit, eat, hang-out in and enjoy. I've been making contact with neighbors, an ASU club, biodynamic farming folks and a few people with the phoenix permaculture guild. I would like to have adobe work parties on the site to create such an attraction as to showcase adobe as a viable building material for the area.

The instructor is fine now - he had to undergo a couple of operations and he is currently out of town - but he's "back in the saddle" now. We are meeting with the instructors in the next couple of weeks to lay out the classes and events for the next 3-4 months. Are you looking for particular kinds of events to happen at this location? Who else is involved with this project and is it currently underway or in the planning stages? Just trying to get a feel for what the plan is.

Thanks Much,
Jen
