[Cob] Cobbing ideas for Kids

[Amanda Peck]

I've been thinking about those gorgeous little models made of dried clay 
bricks in Nader Khalili's Ceramic Houses.  The reader is graciously allowed 
to admire them on page whatever, before learning a couple of pages later 
that they were made by third of fourth graders.  Arches, vaults, and domes.

The material is pretty brittle, so maybe something that can be built on a 
board and then taken home carefully?

A friend of mine is an artist and teaches at a cultural center in NYC.  We 
want to put together a project for kids using natural plasters on baskets 
etc.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how we can introduce natural 
building/plaster materials in a group setting for children aged 6 to 18?
We will only use a clay, sand and straw mix.
