North America Archives
The following projects are collaborations between Kleiwerks International and others in the rich natural building network of the United States and Canada. Kleiwerks International mainly works in the grassroots realm with communities, non-profits, schools and colleges, neighborhoods, and individuals. Most projects happen during workshops that are open to the public, with first-timers to the mud (but certainly not last)!
