SUMMARY:Cob Oven Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us at this beautiful home and organic flower farm just outside of Boston for a weekend building a cob oven! Using locally dug Boston Blue Clay\, sand\, and straw\, we’ll sculpt a timeless earthen oven between the trees. \nThroughout this hands-on weekend\, workshoppers will learn about how the soil under our feet can be used to make strong\, fire-resistant\, and near-indestructible structures. This mix of clay\, sand\, and fiber known as cob has been used for millennia across the world to build not just ovens\, but buildings\, towers\, and now\, modern homes. \nNo matter what level of experience you have\, you’ll be welcomed here to jump in the mud and discover a different sort of building. Here\, we rediscover that building the means of meeting our needs can not only be sustainable\, but fun\, creative\, healthy\, and social. \nLunch is provided both days\, made with fresh produce from the land. There will be plenty of time for Q&A on all things natural building\, and you’ll have a chance to make a small cob souvenir to take home! \nLodging and Transportation: Lodging is not included. Folks are encouraged to take advantage of the Lincoln MBTA Commuter Rail stop a few miles away\, to carpool\, to walk\, and to bike! Registrants will be added to a shared spreadsheet\, to offer or request transportation and lodging. \nPlus\, Walden Pond is just a few miles away—perfect for a refreshing post-workshop dip! \nTickets are sliding scale $250-450.

SUMMARY:Cob Oven Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Immerse into the world of clay and natural building through cob the collective creation of a cob oven! We’ll combine discussion with plenty of embodied\, hands-on time for an inspiring and grounding weekend connecting with Earth.\n\n\nWe’ll be building a cob oven for a wonderful potter right down the road from where you’ll be staying. It all starts with a good foundation\, which we’ll be building by stacking reclaimed\, native stone. You’ll learn where to look for and how harvest the basic ingredients\, clay\, sand\, and straw\, as well as how to combine all of them together for the best\, most durable outcome. Topics like site selection and the history of cob will also give you a broader scope of the possibilities!

SUMMARY:2-Day Intro to Natural Building: Cob\, Straw\, Natural Plasters
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Cape Cod to experience the world of natural building through cob\, straw wall systems\, and natural plasters! We’ll combine discussion with plenty of embodied hands-on time for an inspiring and grounding weekend in the mud. Most of the days will be filled with direct hands-on interaction with the materials\, building and working with model structures. We will also discuss the science behind why these materials work\, how they interact with the environment\, how to maintain them\, building codes\, and more!\n\nWorkshop fee includes 5 meals\, shower and bathroom access\, and free tent camping sites (indoor shared dorm rooms available at a small fee). We’ll also take care of our bodies with optional morning meditation and yoga. Plus\, the beach is just a 4-minute walk away! We can’t wait to share our passion for natural building with you.\n\n\n\n\nDATES & TIMES: 6/28/25 – 6/29/25.
