Earthship Adventures
- In 2021 I began volunteering with the Earthship community and assisting with building Earthships including Amy’ s Earthship Goolwa, Earthship Inman Valley.
- For both Goolwa and Inman Valley I took on the role of designer of the bottle walls which are an aesthetic feature of the East and West walls capturing the Sunrise and Sunset light, creating an ever changing art feature in the Earthship home.
- This role then blossomed into builder/director of those walls and the addition of the interior bottle walls.
- This included in partnership with the owners collecting, cutting, washing, drying, colouring and taping the bottles, placing them in the wall and final renders.
- At the Eastership workshop I conducted mini bottle wall workshops and designed the bottle feature for the Chookship including a solar powered lighting fixture.
- In February of 2023 I was part of the Earthship Crew, and bottle wall educator for Earthship B’n’B Willunga.
- You can find details about upcoming builds, workshops, events on Earthship Eco Homes website.
- I have included a link to my YouTube playlist which includes a few of my videos, of how to build bottle bricks, building bottle walls and the Big living in a Tiny home episode featuring Earthship Ironbank you can stay in this award winning B’n’B. It is a wonderful place to relax and explore the Adelaide hills from.
- There will be more videos added as soon as I have managed to complete the editing.
- I was more than chuffed when Amy’s Rainbow wall appeared in a short piece on Channel Seven news about UniSA’s research study with Dr Martin Freney. Watch here.
- Amy’s Earthship has now been featured in her own episode of Big Living in a Tiny home – Watch here, and an episode of Act local – Watch here.
