John arrived this week and in a few short days has already transformed the kitchen and working practices for the ecoconstruction. His 'thing' is efficiency in the workplace.
John transforms working practices for straw and slip production:
 |
Instead of using a pronged fork to mix and transfer the straw
clay mixture, John filled the container with slip and used his hands
to push larger amounts of straw under the surface. Working on his
knees is easier on the back and placing the bales of straw on a tressle table
means less bending down.

John produced a huge amount of straw and slip
mixture for the house insulation by creating a more efficient
way of working. Being a ceramicist/potter he is not a stranger
to immersing himself (literally) in the clay
The two Johns - one lives off grid nearby,the other a student of permaculture. They are already full of ideas and plans/projects for La Mariais
