Laura Bartels

Laura began her journey into the natural building field as the owner builder of Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley's first straw bale home in 1995. It ignited a passion that has led her to work, play and study in the field ever since. She has served as project manager on many projects such as the Waldorf School on the Roaring Fork and has owned her own plaster business. She has served as a consultant to owners, architects, contractors and organizations since 1997. Her business, GreenWeaver Inc., offers consultation in design, construction, plasters, moisture & monitoring systems, school projects and more. She loves to share passion and knowledge of natural building through teaching, presentations and writing, as well as through playing in the mud.
