Beyond Adobe offers a variety of workshop opportunities as a green building educational resource. We host our own workshops or we will happily come to your desired location to provide hands on adobe building experience with optional developed classroom curriculum. We have taught all age groups and skill levels. We have held workshops for eager owner/builders and school children in northern Arizona, high school teachers in southern Arizona, and the Crow Nation in Montana. Stay posted for up and coming workshops!

We offer Adobe Building 101 as a three day intensive introduction to proven adobe building practices and techniques. Each day begins with an engaging classroom teaching followed by hands on adobe field experience in the second half of the day. The following is an example schedule of a three day Adobe Building 101 course:
