Spring of 2020 I will be building another Japanese gazebo–stay tuned for photos! I won’t be taking on any other new contract work at this time as I need to get the cob house finished, then have many more projects planned for the development.

1997 Straw bale at The Farm in TN, 3 days
1998 “Materials and Tectonics” at Yestermorrow Design Build School in VT, 8 days

Hello,
I came across and replied to an add on craigslist for a rental that also linked to this site. As strange as it sounds I just wanted to be sure this was in fact your ad.
Also, everything on the site is really cool!
Hi Thomas,
I emailed you back today regarding the rental advert. I studied art at Goshen College; graduated class of ’93. I was into ceramics, jewelry, sculpture. Not so much into the 2D stuff. You had mentioned you were coming to Goshen to do a pottery internship. Any chance that is with Mark Goertzen? Or someone else? Goshen has some good momentum going these days with the arts. When you get into town, feel free to look me up.

Hi Greg! Barb and I have been coming back to Goshen a couple of times a year to bring our daughter to school… and again in a few weeks. It would be great to see your amazing place! Tim
It would be great to see you. Let me know when you will be in town.
Greg
We will be there Sunday 20th to 22nd. Do you know a place we can pitch a tent? My email is tdyck@bmts.com.
Cool stuff!
