Come learn one of the oldest natural building techniques of cob  
building over this weekend of community building at the Laytonville  
Ecovillage!

During this workshop participants will learn in their bodies the art  
of cob building as we design, build, and co-create a cob oven and  
bench. The workshops will also include an introduction and overview of  
natural building at large and various techniques and technologies  
including light straw clay, straw bale, waddle ‘n dob, natural  
plasters, passive solar design, and more... though the primary focus  
will be on cob. The workshop will include hands-on experience, so come  
prepared to get muddy! This weekend workshop will also be held in the  
fun, community building environment of the Laytonville Ecovillage to  
include yummy meals, campfires, music, and other community building  
activities.


Laytonville Ecovillage

The Laytonville Eco-Village is an emerging Eco-Village development  
project on a ten acre, beautifully forested property about a mile  
outside of Laytonville, California. Laytonville is a small, rural town  
in Northern Mendocino County located right off Highway 101, about a  
three-hour drive from San Francisco. The property is zoned for  
subdividing and is in the process of being subdivided into five two- 
acre parcels that together will consist of the EcoVillage. Existing  
infrastructure on-site includes a two-story, two-unit farmhouse that’s  
about 65 years old, a barn with loft, a carport, and storage  
buildings. The vision of the Ecovillage is to develop the land and  
homes with community and sustainability as the core values. Lots are  
available to people who agree to a common vision, to community, and to  
working with a set of guidelines that are developed by the community.  
Individual lots will thus fit into a “commons” wherein they co-create  
and agree to a set of sustainable and community parameters.
