About Us

Formerly known as Flying Hammer Productions since 2003, in 2023 we opted for a name change. Although the hammer does fly from time to time, parenting and a desire to be more rooted in place, Earth Dragon Natural Building LLC was born. Earth Dragon is the Chinese translation for 'earthworm', and our intentions as a craft person of all things clay, straw and wood, is to integrate that deep connection to earth, to healthy soil and both the reverence and reflection of place in our work the way earthworms weave a relationship between earth, plants and sky. 

Specializing in building and teaching straw based wall systems, finish carpentry and a relentless enthusiasm for artistic natural finishes, Earth dragon aims to imbue our crafted spaces with the sacredness of natural materials in a way that transforms human habitations into artistic, ecological symbols of home and belonging. 

Each undertaking is a co-creative process, a dance of light, space, materials, plans, joy, and whimsy. With natural and conventional building experience since 1998, we bring decades of building evolution to the table. 

To quote one of the great thinkers of our time, David Graeber, " the ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something we make, and could just as easily make differently."
