Cob Cottage Company's most popular workshop teaches professionals and
owner-builders the basics of cob construction in 10 intensive days. Even
complete novices leave the workshop confident in their ability to build
the cob parts of a building.  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 site
location, passive solar design, drainage, heating, plumbing and
electric, natural roofing, and flooring.  

 

This workshop will be taught by Betty Seaman from the Cob Cottage
Company and co-founder of Spirit Pine Sanctuary.  The workshop will also
be supported by the Quail Springs' residents.
