Some of us went on a week long low-impact building course to learn the following skills;
- Designing with natural materials
- Cobbing, cob oven and rocket stove heated bench
- Building Strawbale walls
- Stone walling
- Cordwood/ recycled bottle walls
- Lime plastering
- Thatching Wood tile and Cob floor
Now we are fully equipped to move ahead with building our own cob structure, including cob oven. Contact us if you want to get involved. 
“Cob is gentle on the planet,” … “It reduces the use of wood, steel and toxic building supplies. Buildings are solar oriented and energy efficient, warm in the winter and cool in the summer, no air-conditioning is needed, and minimal heating is required due to the exceptional thermal quality of the cob.”
