Well,

Sarah, you have found us! There are several projects going on in the near 
vicinity. I'm in the Bothell area, and Brina is north, outside of Stanwood.

Our projects are very similar, except she is doing a cob cordwood hybrid. 
(And ours are different sizes due to different code interpretations!)

Email me, and I'll connect you with her too.

I'm pretty flexible with times. Let me know. There was just a plastering 
workshop last month too.

Thanks for the insight on colored glass windows. I like the candle ledge 
idea, Ed. I'm playing with big old peanut butter jars too. They are nice and 
thick, have a lid and can double as a stash place for incense, etc. I'll put 
colored plates in front of them on their own little ledges.

:-)

| Hi everyone,
|
| I recently discovered cob (though I realize now that the homes all over 
Ireland where I visited grandparents as a child were probably hundreds of 
years-old cob!) and have been reading as much as I can. I am hoping to find 
out about any one working on a cob structure in the seattle area. I have 
searched high and low on this userlist and google and have not found any 
information on anyone in this area doing cob.
| I would like to volunteer labor in exchange for education...
|
| thanks very much,
| Peace,
| Sarah
