Cob: Natural Building foundations and framing workshop

[Michele H. Brooks]

Riversong Forest Sanctuary announces:

Foundations and framing for Natural Building

Join us in the scenic Hood River Gorge, in Hood River, Oregon (approx. 1.25 
hours east of Portland_ for this workshop on how to make foundations for 
strawbale and cob building.  Tuition of $300.00 includes 4.5 days of 
instruction and hands-on experience, indoor or outdoor camping, vegetarian 
food, and a chance to simply be in this pristine setting.  Check or money 
order due to:  Radiance, 3226 Dee Highway, Hood River, Oregon, 97031, by 
March 15, 2003.

There are several projects planned for this event.  We will establish a 
basis for a strawbale wall under a yurt-style roof that is already sunk into 
the ground on posts.  We will use galvanized fencing, urbanite, mortar, and 
light clay to create a bed for the exterior walls.
We will also create a foundation and framing for an interior cob wall.

Other projects will establish foundations and framing for a cob bread 
oven/bench combination and a set of information kioks and trail markers.
