[Quail Springs Permaculture]

Introduction to Natural Building workshop 
at Quail Springs Permaculture, Southern California
With Sasha Rabin and team

April 25 - May 1, 2014

In this six day cob workshop, we focus on the characteristics of the natural materials most commonly used in construction:  clay soil, sand, and fibers.  Our main focus will be cob, though we will touch on various other building techniques that utilize the same materials, including adobe block, light straw-clay, wattle and daub, and plasters.
