Welcome to  Strawbale-net.eu  -  your Strawbale Network
Conferences
The ESBG - European Strawbale Building Gathering, has already been around for few years and its been growing fast in last few years. And I dare say it is the single most important event in the life of a strawbaler of Europe! This is where we meet each other and talk about the techniques we use, research we are working on or simply the dreams that we have for strawbale in Europe and world wide. Following is the list of European gatherings according to information from Lars Keller. Please let us know if you have anything to add or think we got some facts wrong!
