Spend a week in North Carolina learning about cob building as we work together on the construction of a small cob cottage. We will work on mixing and applying cob as we build up the walls, as well as incorporating straw bales (balecob!), installing windows, a door frame, built-in shelving and seating. There will also be discussions on siting, passive solar design, rubble trench foundations, and dry stacking urbanite.
Our farm is located in the piedmont of North Carolina, 30 minutes south of Chapel Hill, and 15 minutes west of Pittsboro.
Food and campsite provided.
