October 2023 LB joined the volunteer group at Brighton Permaculture Trust to support and complete a hempcrete natural building course at Earthship Brighton in Stanmer Park.
The course was led by Alex Sparrow, co-director of UK Hempcrete, a UK company specialising in the use of hempcrete alongside other natural building materials.
The course provides an introduction to the theory and practice of building with hemp lime, also known as hempcrete, including how to use it in the repair and upgrading of old buildings.
