Upoming Yurt Workshops

If you've got a hankering for some yurt building this summer, here's a quick update of some upcoming Taper-Wall Yurt workshops.  

This coming week we begin the LARGE 40' freespan yurt up on Spruce Knob in West Virginia.  It's at the site of Experience Learning - an outdoor education center that's been around since the 70's.  There are many beautiful yurts there and this new freespan yurt will be an open air pavilion.   The foundation is poured and will be ready for us to start making parts and installing the canted white oak wall posts on June 1st.  The first week is full, but if you want to join the fun, there are still spots on the crew for the second week, from June 6 - June 15.  Email Jackie ([email protected] ) to sign up or if you'd like more info.     Here's a picture of the 3"x4" roof matrix
​  will be assembling.      




AND, There's also another two week yurt build in Pembroke, Maine from July 8 - 21st at the Greenhorns Campus.  We will build some small wooden residence yurts like you can see here.  Email the Greenhorns ([email protected]) for more info.

​The rest of 2022 is full, but if you can't make these workshops, there are a few Taper-Wall Yurt workshop offerings in the works for 2023.  I'll send out more information about those as it becomes clear.  


Enjoy the day,
