Estructuras de Tierra
Spreading self-sufficiency through earth-building skills in rural Colombia and South America
Building Inspiring Spaces
Headquartered in Saratoga, California and with offices in Bogota Colombia, CLAYHANDS promotes, teaches and demonstrates earth construction and green building techniques in small rural towns in South America beginning in the Andes Mountain region of Colombia.

Bright young men and women, their families and communities can be involved in building their own homes; often without the burden or expense of mortgages. Skills learned can be the basis of further employment and careers. Earth, mud and straw in Colombia is free and labor is abundant.
Clayhands teaches the building of adobe and pressed earth houses using traditional skills that give involvement and employment to the Andes mountain Community.
