Imagine a world where all people are empowered not only to dream their homes into existence, but are actually able to independently create that vision. Imagine that your home can be harvested from nature and without toxic inputs!
In this 4-day workshop, you will work in and around a full-sized cob structure in progress, with a chance to explore advanced cob construction in three dimensions and to apply your own curiosity and inquiries to what happens next. Hands-on learning will focus on: roof construction and attachment to cob walls, trouble-shooting and repair of cob and bale-cob construction, preparation and application of basic earthen plaster and natural paint finishes, and may include making and installing an arched wooden door. Other topics to be discussed in detail and in context of full-scale cob house construction include foundation work with natural stone, installing earthen floors, making wall openings such as windows and doors, supporting cob above windows and doors, and ways of making cob arches and columns.
Our project is Grandmas Shoe House. YES, it is shaped like a shoe! Ultimately, the Shoe House will serve as a childrens play area, a meditation space, and a place to gather in circle. More info at www.goldenrocksfarm.com.
