MATIYAL: An Earthen Architecture workshop-3

MATIYAL EARTHEN Architecture workshop 3 from 26-27th January 2024, at Rupgonj, Narayanganj
Very often we heard confused voices about maintanance of earthen floors; some even say dirt flooring. But have you heard of using linseed oil for earthen floor? Wax polished smooth soothing earthly tone? How simple rice husk or cactus juice can be used?
Did you know there was a morter called “Bojro lepa” in the ancient villages of Mohasthangar?

MATIYAL: an Earthen Architecture Workshop from 14th-16th December 2023, at Pathra,Jhenaidah
Apart from learning the techniques, what else will we do? We will visit some of the earthen houses that were damaged during cyclone Amphan or storm surge and identify houses those can be repaired or rebuild. Then start rebuilding with the adobe brick we all have made during the workshop.
Isn't it beautiful to know how to make a home with our own hand?
