International work-shop Denmark 2009

This Work-shop has taken place.
>Take a look at this 10 minutes video to get an impression of what happend

We will definately do it again next year

Time:  june 28. to  juli  5.
Location: Drejoe, a very small island in the south of Denmark.
Participationfee: 1.000 Euros + 130 euros for food
Several different possibilities for accomodation from 0 euroes and up.

The last 3 years we have been working hard to make good conditions at this place, for develloping and educate in masonry heaters.
We are not finished yet, but we have come to the point, where it is possibel to begin, so we do.
Last years work-shop in Hungary told us, that this we can do mutch better at home. We hope we can live up to that.

At the work-shop we speak english. Only english. Translation takes far to mutch time and coarse a lot of misunderstandings.
You will be teached in theori as well as practical building on the beginners level, or where ever you might be in the level of skills.
The goal is, that when you return home, you will be able to build your own masonry heater. No matter what skills you have now.

The stoves we build at the work-shop, is not for further use, so you dont have to worry about if you might not be good enough !
This has been a problem for some in other work-shops, so here we only have to think about pure education.
The goal is not to build a nice stove, but to teach you how to do it.
The price is may be higher here than you are use to from other work-shops, but remember, that you are not here as paying labour.

If you catsh on, and want a repetition ore more skills ore practice, it will be possibel at a later time.
Two of the best student from Hungary was here later last summer to get an intensiv update whitch is nessesary if you want to make a living on building stoves.

Special guest this year will be Tom Trout from North Carolina, a very skilled masonry heaterbuilder "over there" who wants to show how to build a primitive but efficient cop-bakeowen. Im sure it will be a lot of fun and a big bit serius too.
I have been invited to the masonry heater assosiations anual meeting this year, where Tom allso will be, so i hope that he and i will bring back some of the spirit from theire work-shops

Bring your camera, take your own pictures, make your own drawings, make your own notes !
Only you know, what you dont know, ore what you cannot remember !

We do allready have participants on the list from France, Norway, U.K., Latvia, Israel, U.S.A and Denmark so dont hessitate.
