Join us for a week of natural building and living in the beautiful Texas Hill County outside of Austin. Professional builders Kindra, John and Sara will take a week off from their packed building schedules to share their passion and knowledge of cob construction. The curriculum is designed to give participants a full outline of what it takes to complete a simple cob project. Including: choosing a site, finding/harvesting materials, design, budgeting, foundations, mixing, building, windows/doors, arches, niches, roof attachment, plastering and earthen floors. Daily guest lecturers will cover other aspects of sustainable living: composting toilets, solar electric, greywater re-use, and more!
We will stay on the land enjoying home-cooked vegetarian meals, campfires and starry night skies. One-day field trip will include carpool travel to a site in Fredericksburg, TX to see and plaster on a nearly completed tiny cob cottage. Families welcome!
