[Cob] cob on the east coast

[jill umphlett]

I'm beginning to think about a cob workshop vacation next year. I'd like 
to eventually make it out to a Cob Cottage Company workshop, but would 
like to take one closer to home first.

Are there any "basics of cob" type workshops routinely taught somewhere 
east of the Mississippi?

Also, how much do you learn in a "bread oven" workshop that's applicable 
to cob houses?

Thanks.
