We've had nearly 50 people help with our shed over the past 2 years and we would like some more.
2 Workshop Dates in May 2015
- May 9-10 - Cob walls
We will focus on building the interior and exterior walls of our cob structure. We plan on embedding lots of bottles and a window or 2 as well as rocks or whatever stuff we don't need anymore.
Plan on learning the basics of making cob and building with cob. You should be comfortable with heights for this one as we are working on walls 8-12 feet from the ground.
- May 30-31 - Earthen floor
This workshop will focus on pouring an earthen floor in our 150 round foot cob house. We'll talk making cob and common issues, passive solar design, insulation options, and water concerns. Expect to get lots of practice making cob, arguably the most important factor in building with cob. We'll share how we make cob with tarps and a rototiller. This workshop is suitable for little ones.
Cost of either workshop is $60 before May 1st, or $90 after May 1st, and includes tuition,
meals, and camping. Workshops will start Saturday morning and finish Sunday afternoon. Located in Frederick county Maryland.
Please email or call with questions.
