Hemp Building Course with Steve Allin, September 12 – 15, 2011

Steve Allin is conducting a four–day hemp construction course in Kenmare Co Kerry, Ireland this September. Steve has enthusiastically pioneered the use of hemp in building in Ireland and internationally for the last 13 years, and is the author of Building with Hemp. He has also contributed articles to a variety of publications from the Green Building Bible to Cannabis Culture magazine.

Steve was a director of Hemp Ireland Ltd. (1998–2003) which was set up to research and develop a hemp processing facility in Ireland. The information gained from this helped in developing the plans for a truly sustainable industrial production of hemp on a local community level as a bio–regional approach to the production of basic ecologically appropriate food, biomass and building materials.

Currently the director of the International Hemp Building Association (IBHA), Steve Allin continues to act as an advisor for projects wishing to establish hemp processing facilities for hemp construction products.
