Workshops

This hands on workshop will give you experience in mixing and installing hemp lime building materials.

It is the practical component of our training and combined with the online theory workshop, this workshop will complete your Australian Hemp Masonry hemp construction training.

The main applications for hempcrete in Australia are in new residential construction and retrofitting to improve thermal comfort, energy efficiency or acoustics.

Our workshops are delivered by experienced trainers. Over the past 10 years Australian Hemp Masonry has supplied BCA compliant hemp building materials and worked with hemp builders and designers and with owner builders, on 240+ residential construction projects in multiple Australian climate zones.

AHM has also supplied the materials for a number of commercial builds including the Mildura Powerhouse Project, the Innovation Centre at the Byron Steiner School, the Lithgow Women’s Shed and installation is currently underway at UTAS where the old Forestry Building is being refurbished with hemp.

Our workshops share this experience. Builds using our materials have also won quite a number of significant Australian energy efficient building and design awards in the past 5 years.

The workshops include hands on experience because learning to mix the Hemp lime material well is critical, as are learning the techniques for installing, to ensure that the outcome is both beautiful and provides optimal thermal and acoustic performance.

Builders and Architects can use the workshop and supporting resources to qualify for CPD points. Please talk to us about this.

Cost of Practical Training: $352 pp (incl gst)+ booking fee.

Tasmanian Hemp Association members will receive a 10% discount, which will be reimbursed.
