Straw in the wall: an instructional video on slip straw

I’ve been thinking about and intending to put together a video on using light straw clay, also known as slip straw, in interior walls. The boys and I have packed 1,100 square feet of walls now. So, we have a little experience. I figure that I really was learning how to do it by the time we finished this week, but I’m not going to go back and start over!

Anyway, I figured it would be best to shoot some video on the process before we got it all done. As we worked on the final walls, I videoed different parts of the process, and then I spent some time over a couple of days to put together an instructional video called Straw in the wall: using light straw clay (slip straw) as interior wall fill.

  1. Very nice video, very infromative, hope you do one the plastering also. I've enjoyed watching the whole process of your home being built.

  2. I will do the one on plastering. It fits right in with the slip straw one. With the investment of a little time, you can make a natural, low-cost wall.

  3. I love this blog! It's been very informative about straw slip infilling, and other things besides.
