Cob Home Builder Workshop - April 22-29, 2006

Join us for a week of natural building construction and education in the beautiful Texas Hill County!

Workshop participants will paticipate in the construction of a rustic caretakers' cob cottage on secluded acreage near Fredericksburg, TX.  Our 6 full days of workshop activity will cover cob construction from start to finish including: siting, design, foundation, wall construction, tractor cob, earthen floors, windows/doors, roof, plasters, arches, niches and relief sculpture.   Guest speakers will complement our building process with presentations on topics relating to natural living lifestyle. 

This is a perfect opportunity for those with cob dreams to learn the entire process and bounce ideas around with experienced builders. Gourmet vegetarian meals will be prepared daily by our magnificent hostess and talented chef.  Our site provides camping, indoor gathering spaces, composting toilets, fire circle, a year round creek, wildflowers and natural serenity.

Come build in partnership with the earth!
