Celebrated Natural Builder Ianto Evans Presents Slide Show at Sedgwick Reserve

Ianto Evans, acclaimed author, architect and devoted natural builder will 
be presenting his compelling slide show at the beautiful Sedgwick Reserve. 
Founder of the "Cob Cottage Compnay", in Cottage Grove, Oregon, Ianto 
invites the viewer on a creative and inspiring journey into the world of 
natural building, non-toxic structures and simple living. These images will 
touch your soul, bringing a profound understanding of nature blending and 
becoming architecture.

Crossing all economic boundaries, Ianto's philosophy and teaching is 
relevant to any life style. The focus of the slide show is an ancient 
building technique known as "Cob." Used for centuries in Ireland, England 
and Wales, Cob is currently enjoying a revival in North American and Britain.

The slide show will be in the art studio on the Sedgwick Reserve at 6:30 
P.M. on Tuesday, March 9, 2004. For further information call Betty at 
698-3840. For directions call Barbara at Sedgwick Reserve 686-1941. $3
