Cob Pizza Oven Workshop

March 27^th & 28^th

Saturday 9:00am – 3:00pm & Sunday 9:00am – 2:00pm (lunch included)

Day 1: Learning how to set up and build an earthen oven.
Day 2: Finish Plaster

We will be using reclaimed and locally harvested materials as much as possible to build an earthen oven.  There will be discussions on materials and technique, and plenty of time for questions and answers. You will learn the basic skills of determining the dimensions of an earth oven, how to mix cob, base coat plaster, and finish plaster. The class is mainly hands on to give you the feeling and understanding of how to build with cob. We will also have a pizza party to celebrate!
