Join us at Jenn’s house in Reno, NV to learn how to build a cob oven. This one day class will get us about 80% of the way to a complete oven leaving the plastering and making of a door for another day. We’ll make the cob ring, the insulation layer, lay the fire bricks, build the sand dome form, pile up oven cob, and add the slip-straw insulation layer on top. Building an oven provides a great overview of a variety of natural building techniques.
Our comprehensive 10-day natural building course is back! This time we’ll be at the innovative Prakruthivanam Organic Farm and Sustainable Community in India. We’ll teach a wide variety of techniques with plenty of “wall-time” to ensure participants leave with the knowledge and confidence to design and build on their own.
The project will focus on an outdoor community room with a cob pizza oven. Farm stays to extend your visit before and after are possible.

A full, hands-on day of learning about the materials and techniques for building with natural materials. A pizza party dinner using our cob oven finishes the class at night.
