Build a Cob Oven

Get your hands in the dirt with Camilo Cadavid to construct a cob oven! We will learn to build an oven using natural materials in a step by step, hands-on workshop including an examination of soil composition and learn to identify and test suitable soil as a building material. Camilo learned to build with cob during a summer apprenticeship at Cob Cottage Company and SustainableU in Oregon. His first oven was inspired by friends who wanted to learn to cob and get together over pizza parties. Since this first project, many people have become inspired to do the same. Camilo has taught numerous workshops with diverse groups and has been involved in commissioned projects nationwide since 2017.
