at White Oak Farm & Education Center
Thursday May 8 - Sunday May 11
 |
Join us in May as we sculpt a small cottage in the
woods. In this weekend workshop you will have the opportunity to get
your hands (and feet) dirty mixing and building with cob, stacking straw
bales, and making and applying earthen plasters. Lectures and discussions
will also cover: light-straw-clay building, design basics, foundations,
roofs, and more. We will have the opportunity to tour a hybrid pole
frame-straw bale-cob home, a straw bale-cob sauna, and a cob oven. Participants
will walk away from this weekend with the techniques and principles
needed to begin building with natural materials.
Working with natural materials for four days allows learning to take
hold in your body. During this workshop you will learn how to test soil
for building, mix cob, build cob walls, and learn the basics of earthen
plastering, light-straw-clay, and straw bale building.
The Workshop Starts at 9am Thursday May 8. Out of town
participants are welcome to arrive Wednesday evening between 5pm and
10pm. The workshop ends at 4pm on Sunday May 11.
Cost: This four day workshop costs $320.
