Butterfly House: Piazza di Farfalla

The Piazza di Farfalla at the Butterfly House in Ouwerkerk, Zeeland is now finished and the first Pizzas and bread was delicious! My thanks to all the workshop participants and the plaster crew that came back and transformed the cocoon into a beautiful Farfalla! We danced in the mud, laughed and enjoyed the hospitality of Saskia and Jasper and Ijfke. The weather was on our side and we enjoyed the sun the mud and oneanothers
company while we created a place of warmth, a rumford fireplace an earthen oven and a bench connecting the two hearths. This all happpend under a roof that Rob an Jasper built and that will turn into a green roof before the winter. I will cherish the laughter, the learning and the new muddy friends!
