Join us Wednesday, July 2 - Sunday July 6, 2008 for a Cob Workshop

Learn to design and build your own cob cottage or project with Becky Bee, internationally known cob builder and author.

The Art Barn on the Ridge
27880 Cherokee St.

Each participant will learn how to build with cob including mixing and plaster, and also build a small model of their own structure. The focus of the workshop will be on the participant’s plans and dreams for their own structure and all the information and encouragement they will need to start building on their own.

Build a cob hot tub and other small structure on-site,

Leave with the skills to get started on your own projects.

Go hiking, river swiming, and on a tour of local cob construction.

There will be an open house for friends and family July 4 from 1-6pm, with an open mic/open jam where everyone will be invited to cob.
