Each participant will learn how to build with cob including mixing and
plaster, and also build a small model of their own structure. The
focus of the workshop will be on the participant's plans and dreams
for their own structure and all the information and encouragement they
will need to start building on their own.

Build a cob hot tub and other small structure on-site,

Leave with the skills to get started on your own projects.

Go hiking, river swiming, and on a tour of local cob construction.

There will be an open house for friends and family July 4 from
