Might go through the archives. I don't know of any. How far are the Dancing Rabbit eco-village projects from you? I know they've done straw bale, I used their instructions for an earthen floor. Apparently no workshops scheduled any time soon, people there do seem to have done a couple of cob stoves/benches in their houses. http://www.dancingrabbit.org But there is a young woman on the list who caught the bug. Don't think she'd seen any buildings or attended any workshops at the time, and she lived in an apartment, IIRC. So when she went on vacation, her mother got a garden wall, not very high, but in a nice place. Then she got a bake oven, they learned to use it. Now the daughter is doing walls as civic projects where she lives. Getting experience before you start on a house is a great idea. Getting experience with people who know what they're doing is a great idea. But she just did it. .................
