COB OVEN
BUILDING WORKSHOP
Fun with mud!
WHEN: Sunday, June 5
TIME: 10am -
6pm
FEE: $65 - $85 sliding scale
EVENT DESCRIPTION:
Learn how to build a simple fully functioning
sculpted bread oven from cob in one day. This earthen sculpture will be built
using inexpensive materials: sand, clay, straw, and water.
You will learn about materials selection and
evaluation, mixing and cobbing techniques, and designing. Cob has been used for
millennia . With recent rises in the price of lumber and increasing interest in
natural and environmentally safe building practices, cob is enjoying a
renaissance. This ancient technology doesn't contribute to deforestation,
pollution or mining nor depend on manufactured materials or power tools. Earth
is non-toxic and completely recyclable.
The workshop will be a mix of hands-on (and feet
in!). Please wear clothes that you wouldn't mind soiling. Plan to use muscles
you haven't flexed in a while.
BRING: A hat, suntan lotion,
towel, slip-ons, perhaps a change of clothes. Also bring your own bag lunches
and beverages. We will provide light snacks and water.
INSTRUCTOR: Ray Cirino, of Cobanation, is an
experienced and innovative cobber. He will share his love and enthusiasm
of cob, demonstrating his own unique and whimsical
design.
