Hi Friends,
There are still some spots left in our upcoming workshops!
Our goal is to support the building of a self-reliant, thriving Ojai
Valley and beyond.
Carolyn and I are at it again with Cob Workshops
in April & June. Please spread the word to your circles and
come if you can. Discounts for groups and previous workshop
participants, especially if you bring friends (email us for details).
The time is now to create community based self-reliance and reclaim our
ability to craft Home. Hope to see you there! Flyer is
attached.
Happy Building,
Carrie

This workshop will focus on
sculpting walls for a small earthen structure. We’ll cover the basics
of cob building including foot and tractor mixing, trimming, window and
door installation, sculpting niches and shelves, and talk about how to
incorporate different design features depending on your needs. The cob
method is deeply green. It utilizes non-toxic, inexpensive, extremely
local materials and low-tech, low carbon footprint (not to mention
awesome fun) building processes. Come learn to build with the
earth beneath your feet. Our workshop is designed to wake up and
empower the natural builder in you! Tuition: $177
Play in the Mud is a fun, hands-on cob building experience. Come and
playfully join us in an introduction to natural building materials and
methods. We’ll learn about clay soils, how to create your unique cob
recipe and mixing and application techniques. Building Experience is
NOT a Prerequisite. Come see what is possible! tuition: $50

Plant
so
that
your own heart will
grow.
Love so
God
will think, "Ahhhhhh, I
got
kin in that body! I
should
start inviting that soul over for
coffee
and rolls."
Sing
because
this
is a food our
starving
world needs.
Laugh
because
that
is the purest sound.
