Cob Cottage Company’s most popular workshop teaches professionals and owner-builders the basics of cob construction 7 intensive days. Even complete novices leave the workshop confident in their ability to build the cob parts of a cabin, studio, or greenhouse. Learn how to locate and test soil, sand, and straw, create the right cob mix for any situation, and build strong, durable, sculptural earthen walls. Get practical experience with foundations, windows, doors, arches and niches. Lectures cover siting, passive solar design, drainage, heating, plumbing and electric, natural roofing, and flooring.
