[Cob] opinions re: education in Cob

[Marlin]

my 2 cents.....

I (we at OuttaTheBox) took week long courses with Cob Cottage.....we COULD have learned many of the things without going to the workshop BUT the immersement in OPENING up the mind and to practice and share with other people at the workshop is great. W

We've led workshops here in the midwest (Illinois, Wisc) for the last 4 years.....OTB owes tons to Cob Cottage learning - bet there's others that are good (albeit with a different style - we have our own peculiar way of teaching it!) as well, like Becky Bee's books but never took a course from her..

BEst,

Marlin Nissen

the cob cottage co. (oregon) are the only group that I have studied under.  I took the three week owner builder course and was completely happy with the education that I got.  they said we would be able to go out and build our own house at the end of the course and I belive they delivered.  they do offer week long courses but I think they are meant to be more introductory.  my friend bernhardt just finished his own cob home using the cob cottage co. book The Hand Sculpted House.  he never even took a course.
