SUMMARY:Cob Oven Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Cob Oven Weekend – $500 \nJuly 8th-10th (From 9am on the 8th to 3pm on the 10th) \nThis workshop is a great introduction to natural building materials and methods. We will build a wood-fired \ncob bread/pizza oven from start to finish. Students will build the stone foundation\, firebrick hearth\, cob \nstructure\, and finish the oven with earthen plasters. We will also build an attached cob wall and a \ncast-in-place concrete countertop. You will learn the skills to go home and build your own oven! \nWhat to expect: \nOur days will be spent engaged in hands-on building and learning with natural materials. Expect a rich \nweekend of natural and community building with the group. We’ll work\, learn\, eat\, and relax with each \nother in a positive\, hard-working\, fun atmosphere. Conversation on natural building will provide constant \nbackground chatter throughout the weekend. Evenings are typically unscheduled so folks have time to \nenjoy the site\, explore nearby towns\, or relax around the fire. \nWe will make time for a few focused discussions on related natural building subjects such as \nstraw-bale construction\, passive solar design\, wood framing\, roofing\, permits and codes\, and more. \nMichael may give an interesting slideshow presentation. \nThe Site: \nOur site is Stablegate Farm\, a beautiful family owned winery\, wedding venue\, and spiritual center. \nLocated at 10-12 Linda Way Castleton-on-Hudson\, NY 12033. Camping facalties include a bathouse \nwith toilet/sink\, a hot/cold water outdoor shower\, and a fire pit gathering area. \nMeals/Food preferences: \nWe will serve three meals daily\, cooked on-site by staff. The food will be healthy and filling vegetarian \ncuisine with a vegan option. Many of the ingredients will be sourced from local farms. Please indicate any \nfood allergies upon registration. \nSchedule: \nThe workshop will begin at 9am on Friday the 8th. We will break for lunch around 1pm and work again \nuntil 5pm. The evening is informal and unscheduled\, although a campfire hang-out will be available. \nBreakfast will be served at 8am with the workshop to follow. Saturday we have to end early\, around 3pm \nto accommodate a wedding that day. Participants may arrive Thursday evening to set up camp\, but no \nmeals will be provided until lunch Friday. \nInstructor: \nMichael McDonough is a Troy\, NY based building contractor\, designer\, and educator. His work can be \nfound at the North Carolina Museum of Life and Science\, Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival\, Oxmoor \nFarm\, and a number of happy homesteads around the east coast. He learned a great deal by working with \nleading natural builders including Ianto Evans\, Clark Sanders\, Thea Alvin\, Ben Simpson.
