Guest Instructor - Janine Björnson

Janine is a natural builder, educator, and consultant. She began her career in natural building in 1996. Since then, she has taught over 55 workshops in Canada and the United States. Her passion for building with natural materials bloomed out of her love for the earth, in conjunction with her concern for diminishing ecological resources and toxic buildings. Since then, she has devoted the last decade to immersing herself in the world of natural materials and the knowledge of how we can shape dwellings that are healthy, healing, inspiring, and beautiful. Janine loves to inspire and teach women how to build, and this is evident in her enthusiastic teaching style. She lives and builds in Sebastopol, California.
