Day 10: Natural Building & Soap Making
Throughout the day we had different activities that helped us to develop different skills for working and learning from the earth, and therefore we created objects that can be used for architecture and personal use like soap. We started the day by waking up and going to a class where then we were introduced to new members of Rancho Mastatal, where they showed and asked us about the knowledge that we had when regarding natural elements for creating buildings. Once we had our small conversation, we proceeded to work with clay, sand, and straw among other elements that are found in the soil for creating adobe breaks. We mixed and used a shovel to retreat the materials needed. We were separated into two groups where we changed the activities throughout the day when regarding this class.
Once we finished with the class, we then moved to how to create a natural soap with our hands from natural and original materials found in the place. The class consisted of a small introduction to what we needed to use for soap and how the negative impacts can occur when letting companies use their advantage to get revenue without carrying about the healthiness and approval of the product. That is the moment when then we moved on with how to process and create with different chemical reactions the soap that we were needing for then creating and giving it a powerful but creative design to it.
