Hempcrete blocks laid on the interior of a stone wall in Guernsey.

Visited a team at Turku University in Finland, who have purchased a 3CM hempcrete spray machine to undertake research. Demonstrated the machine and provided training, alongside Vincent Denis, the machine designer. Planning to visit again in future to help them further.
