The Hyperadobe Planter Workshop will be held on the Tiny Shiny homestead from October 11-12, 2025. This exciting new weekend event includes hands-on training building small planters with hyperadobe earthbags, advanced earthbag education, delicious meals, and community with amazing people.

What is Hyperadobe?
Hyperadobe Earthbag utilizes UV treated raschel mesh tubes filled with soil and compacted into what are esentially formed bricks in whatever shape, size, and length you want.
We've used it to build a solar shed office, chicken garden, composting toilet outhouse, an outdoor shower, and are in the early stages of our huge family roundhouse, all using hyperadobe earthbags.
After laying thousands of feet of bag, publishing hundreds of videos documenting our journey, teaching others our process, and running multiple workshops here on the property, we're trying something new.
Natural Building for All
While previous workshops have focused on building large, complicated structures we realize that's not for everyone.
Sneak peek of planter test in progress :)
In this weekend workshop you'll be taught how to build 3 different earthbag planters using 8" hyperadobe earthbags, plaster, and even some glass bottle bricks!
If you'd like to build one back at your place you can even buy the hyperadobe bags you'll need during signup and take them home with you.
