Cob Basics and Beyond

A complete cob workshop that provides the skills necessary to transform the earth into a cottage or studio. We will cover design, passive solar, foundations, soils/materials, cob mixing, straw-bale hybrids, doors and windows, sculptural details, roofing, plastering, flooring and more. Using inexpensive natural and local materials we’ll create a garden studio of great durability and beauty. Afternoon lectures and labs will enrich the hands-on experience. Some on-site camping is available, we’ll work with those from out of town on lodging. Gourmet vegan and raw meals prepared by chef Gabrielle Chavez. For more information and to register contact Gabrielle Chavez at gabriellesgarden{at}gmail.com or 503-957-3694.
