fun mixing cob!
Time: daily 8 – 4:30, some evening programming
Location: O.U.R. Ecovillage
Facilitators: Elke Cole and team
Description:
Jump into the the mud with us this summer: dance the cob dance and toss the cob-toss, and next thing you know you’ll be sculpting a wall! Discover the builder and artist in you: it’s easy and fun.
6 days of cob building make for a high energy workshop offering real skills toward building your own cob building. Learn how to evaluate materials, basics of designing for cob, mixing techniques, wall building, arches, sculpting and fastening doors, windows and roofs.
We spend time to discuss related issues, design, managing your project and how to deal with building codes.
Working with cob is building community as well: you meet likeminded people, support each other and explore your creativity in a fun and safe environment.
