Introduction to COB

This workshop focused on introducing natural building, in specific the technique of COB, to the students. A range of questions are explored, from ‘what are different natural building techniques?’ and ‘what is clay?’ to ‘why do we use COB?’ and ‘how do I test my soil to make good COB?’. After a delicious lunch the students engaged in making COB from scratch and applying it on stones to make a bench. Besides the study material, we get to explore different ideas and philosophies on natural building and community is built!
