Maybe it was the loss of Brian to Two Rivers. I was counting on him to carry a full share of the teaching load. Maybe Two Rivers got bogged down with building codes in Montpelier for a classroom...sprinkler system etc. Maybe Two Rivers decided that they would rather try to run a yurt workshop on their own. Or with someone else. Good luck to that. This workshop was on the edge of the possible and would take a lot of work, knowledge and organization to get it up and finished.

<br />At the recent Felters' Fling 2011 at Williamsburg, MA, students learned about the craft of yurt making by constructing models and covering them with felt. These homes may be the ultimate in cozy, warm and comfortable, and in green, low tech, sustainable, easy to build and fun construction.

<br />What the models represent at a 7.666 ratio of small to big. Don't you think the big one needs a felt cover? The likely name for the large one is "The Hobbit Yurt!"

<br />HOO-RAH for the hard working students who made models. The time and work to make a model is at least equal to that required to make a full size ger/yurt.

Building a 24 foot yurt that has some semblance to a US yurt company yurt and putting it up in two days edges into the impossible. This is what we are planning to do to help Two Rivers Center replace the Pacific Yurt they lost in last spring's flood. What we are counting on is this:
<br /><ol><li>We have an experience of producing three 12 foot yurts in two days in classes at at Yestermorrow and Spirit Hollow. Building a 24 foot yurt will use the same techniques in a larger format.
<br /></li><li>We are counting on decades of experience in materials based education to organize this effort. Building the 24 foot yurt will require more organizational work before students arrive and more efficient communication to students about what is needed when they are doing the work.
<br /></li><li>We are counting on a slightly bigger class size (a minimum of 16 students rather than 12) to get this done.</li></ol>
<br />Why would we do this?
<br /><ol><li>Two Rivers Center really needs the yurt replaced to provide classroom space for its program <a href="http://foodworksvermont.org/">which is a very worthy one</a>.</li><li>To demonstrate that the impossible is possible...that an individual, with a group of friends, can make a very good yurt in a weekend.
<br /></li></ol>Our economy invites us to get the job done, in a can-do, no nonsense way. People need yurts. With hard work yurts can be had in a short amount of time. To answer the the question, "Is it possible to make a 24 foot yurt in two days?" We hope to show in our workshop that the answer is "Yes."

With minimal woodworking skills, a home of complex and magical beauty can be made at an amazingly modest cost, (roughly one fifth of the cost of a Yurt kit). In this workshop, you will gain an experience that will allow you to make your own yurt of any size and any design. This course will lead you through building walls, door frames, rafters, roof rings, domes, tension bands and coverings. You will gain an experience that will allow you to make your own yurt that meets your needs and matches your dreams.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style=""><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument>

</p><p>Bruce Sargent, workshop leader, has built yurts and authored books and articles on yurt building and led workshops and classes about building your own do-it-yourself yurt. He has sought the simplest and most direct methods of yurt construction to create designs that anyone can build. He has shared his studies in workshops in Vermont at Spirit Hollow, Yestermorrow, and Hunger Mountain Food Coop and at his blog <a href="http://www.forloveofyurts.blogspot.com/">http://www.forloveofyurts.blogspot.com</a>. The workshop will build a yurt in a magical two days, course work developed at Yestermorrow in two workshops last summer. Bruce has authored a book on yurt building, <i>For Love of Yurts, Building an Ultra Simple Yurt for Under $1000, </i>published by Shires Press in Manchester VT, a book that some reviewers have felt inspires those who long for a yurt to build one.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:100%;"><b><span style=";font-family:";" >Workshop Objectives</span></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style=";font-family:";font-size:100%;" >To learn how to build a simple, green, sustainable, DIY, code compliant, snow and wind reinforced, 24 foot yurt

Students will gain a knowledge of yurt building by constructing a model of an actual camping yurt that will be on site. The experience is designed to free students to begin building their own dream yurt. A follow up class will teach student how to cover their yurts with felt, the original green and sustainable yurt covering material.

From this perspective it almost seems full size and "real" instead of a model.<br /><br />Model building did teach me more about the Mongolian yurt design that uses straight wall rods that create an hour glass wall. The whole wall systems acts like a giant spring with each individual rod bent like an archer's bow. In the case of the model, all 40 wall rods contribute to a springy wall that drives the wall upward as well as inward, an internal force that meets the weight of the the roof ring and rafters. Amazing.<br /><br />What really excites me about this little model is that when build full size, it will be a gem of a camping yurt.

beauty can be made at an amazingly modest cost, (roughly one tenth of the cost of a Yurt kit). In this workshop, you will gain an experience that will allow you to make your own yurt of any size and any design. This course will lead you through building walls, door frames, rafters, roof rings, roof ring supports, domes, tension bands and coverings. You will gain an experience that will allow you to make your own yurt that meets your needs and matches your dreams.</span></p> <p>Bruce Sargent, workshop leader, has built yurts and authored books and articles on yurt building and led workshops and classes about building your own do-it-yourself yurt. He has sought the simplest and most direct methods of yurt construction to create designs that anyone can build. He has shared his studies in workshops in Vermont at Spirit Hollow, Yestermorrow, and Hunger Mountain Food Coop and at his blog <a href="http://www.forloveofyurts.blogspot.com/">http://www.forloveofyurts.blogspot.com</a>. The workshop will build a yurt in a magical two days, course work developed at Yestermorrow in two workshops last summer.

What's with that?<br /><br />Tracking down the link went through <a href="http://britishfood.about.com/b/">Elaine's British & Irish Food Blog</a> that had pictures of braised lamb shank posted.

The Lamb Shank is cooked very slowly in a good red wine (I emphasise <em>good</em>, never cook with wine you wouldn't drink) which tenderises the meat until, when it is cooked, the meat will quite literally fall from the bone."<br /><br /><br /><h2><br /></h2>healingsgreen.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16968009427873067107noreply@blogger.com0
