Preserving Heritage: Adobe Construction course

In April the Preserving Heritage: Adobe Construction course at Luna Community College, in Las Vegas, New Mexico, starts up for its second year! Every Friday and Saturday students are taught skills in adobe construction, from adobe mud mixing, to brick laying, to traditional finishing methods while they help construct a 750-square foot house on Luna Community College’s campus.
