Hi friends,
We are having one last workshop of the season coming up the end of this month. Again, it is an introductory workshop designed to give you basic cob building skills, and a good overview of what is involved from start to finish in a cob building project. For those of you who have a little more experience, this workshop will also be a great way to practice your new skills and deepen your knowledge.
(See workshop details below).
If the weather stays dry and relatively sunny into early October, we may be able to squeeze in a 1 or 2 day natural plastering workshop on this bench too. Here's hoping!
We've been negotiating a couple of great contracts for cob structures for next year, and will be starting in the early spring. So if you can't make this workshop, hold until until next year, when we'll have many & diverse opportunities (cob ovens, cob walls & a garden shed).
Contact me soon if you'd like to join us on the 24th and 25th.
Hope you're all enjoying this great weather!
Thanks,
Nadi

Learn the basics of building with cob - an age old recipe for earthen structures made from clay, sand and straw. Join us as we finish building the beautiful bench for the Sustainable Living Arts School, in the edible landscape of Robin Wheeler's gardens.
The workshop will cover: material selection, mixing, applying, and incorporating features such as windows, niches, arches, shelves and more ~ a great overview course for those curious about building with cob.
