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

 Building with Earth - Cob Workshop      April 12th-15th 10-4pm
 
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
 
Introduction to Natural Building: Play in the Mud     April 14th 10-4pm
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
