President David B. South captures interest in class as he teaches the
many aspects of dome building. Equal time is given each day to classroom teaching and hands-on application.

Sparks fly while workshop attendees cut steel rebar while building a Monolithic Dome shell which will be a 2660 square foot home.

April 1999 Workshop attendees hang rebar from the Monolithic Rotating Scaffold in a 50 foot dome.

Monolithic Dome in Moscow, Russia built by Workshop attendee Sviet Raikov.

"You know, I had such a wonderful feeling when the Airform was inflated, it is like give birth to a baby. I know that today was open a new page of my life and lives of my friends. The couple we are making this building for said that there are a whole bunch of their friends who are excited to have domes constructed, so we are now like the concert performers playing in front of the big audience." Sviet Raikov -- Moscow, Russia"

"Thanks to you and your team for a wonderful learning experience and all around great time at the workshop! I am not kidding when I say that learning to build domes has been a life-long desire, thanks!!" -- Marty Heaton

The atmosphere was warm and friendly thanks to you and your staff. Again, my sincere thanks to you" -- John Graham

"First, let me thank you for a super course. I certainly learned a lot and was very impressed by you and your entire staff. I look forward to working with them all in the very near future... God Bless this venture." --Wallace B. Moore, President, On-Site Diagnostics
