NNMC’s Spring 2010 Schedule for Adobe Construction classes is now online! Please visit our Spring 2010 semester page for detailed information about viewing the online schedule and obtaining class registration numbers, course dates and times. Registration is open right now and can be completed directly online by following these instructions.

As always, the highlight of the spring semester is the “Arches, Domes and Vaults” class. We have already secured a hands-on project in Northern New Mexico for the upcoming class. Over a two-week period we will be building a complete adobe structure (mud brick walls, window and door openings with lintels, concrete bond beam) and finishing the structure with a mud brick vaulted roof.  This is a great opportunity to work on an adobe structure from start to finish and also learn a magical technique of constructing  a woodless roof. This class will surely be an extra special event! More details about the project will be released as they become available.
