We hope you
are all doing well in your own ventures. And enjoying this cool summer!
We wanted to let
you know that this weekend we are proposing a fantastic natural building
workshop down in El Sobrante, north east of
Join us for our 2 day “Build an
Earth Oven” workshop with Marisha Farnsworth. We will be building an
earth/cob oven from the ground up. Get your hands in the mud and play with various
mixes and plaster. Our Instructor Marisha will share her design process,
talking about environmental considerations, choice of materials, size of the
oven, long term maintenance and use. Students will be introduced to: the
properties of cob, stone work, earth plaster and the general attributes of
working with natural materials. Not only are these fantastic ovens a beautiful
addition to any garden but they will also provide you with a chance to bake
your own wood fried bread and pizzas for the next 50 years!
Spend you
vacation weekend doing something different this year and come and camp out at
this private residence in El Sobrante. A beautiful location where you will also
see other straw bale building and bamboo structures and get to share ideas
and thoughts with like minded folk.

Let’s keep
