You may also try contacting Max Edelson at this Farm/School/Center in 
Patagonia. This workshop is over but I imagine he could give you info 
and further contacts.

Good luck!

Help build the pre-school part of a new Waldorf School with teachers, 
students, and activists in the local community.
Date: December 6 - December 20, 2003
Place: El Bolson, Patagonia, Argentina
Instructors: Janell Kapoor (Kleiwerks-USA), Carlos Straub 
(Diversidad-Argentina), Jorge Belanko (Diversidad-Argentina), Lydia 
Doleman (City Repair-USA), Max Edleson, and others.

Join us: For this 2-week intensive in the beautiful valley of El 
Bolson, at the foot of the Patagonian Andes in Argentina. As we 
construct this new Waldorf School (La Escuelita), you will learn how to 
build your own natural, affordable, and long-lasting structure with 
materials that come directly from the land. Learn through hands-on 
practice, demonstrations, classes, slideshows, and discussions. There 
will be an emphasis on the interface between natural building and 
permaculture.

Techniques and subjects include: adobe, cob, wattle and daub, 
strawclay, window and door installation, foundation work, hand-sculpted 
earthen furniture, natural finishes including earthen plasters, aliz 
clay-slip paints, sculptural relief, appropriate design, model-making, 
soil testing, slideshows, fire circles, music-making, and more.
