Making Mdula
June 18, 2008
Chembe, Malawi; we used found clay, some sand and ashes for durability and insulation. Images of nutritious food were printed on sides. After the modules are drying for a day or two in the shadow, we put them together and fill with clay.
Ljubljana, Slovenia; the mold has changed to improve the airflow. The clay was mixed with sawdust to improve insulation.
Vancouver, BC, Canada; we fired this Mdula in a kiln. Clay was mixed with vermiculite. There is also a row of marching camels, right between the dunes and the sky.
