Unique Urban Cob Building 101
Intermediate Cob Plastering Workshop
November 15th-16th Saturday and Sunday 9 am - 4 pm
All levels of experiance will find something of value.
Learn to sculpt your own raised garden beds using clay, straw and sand. Cob is a technique for building structures that won't rot, can't burn down and bugs won't eat it. Earth is one of the oldest building materials on the planet and still the most common. This workshop is led by Ray Cirino creative sustainable artist, inventor, builder and permaculture practitioner who has designed hybrid stoves, street furniture and houses. Intermediate students learn the finer art of plastering ( possibly mosaic using broken pottery if there is sufficent interest ) and how to finish and seal our work using linseed oil and other natural protectants.
