Sustainable Building
June 13-18, 2010
Get down and dirty doing a cob dance or hewing beams, then cool off at a nearby pond or beach.
The focus of this workshop will be the hands-on building with cob and log. We'll be finishing the cob and log Earthship (finishing the cob floor), and rebuilding a century log cabin on a new site. We will also have a local tour day where we visit a huge Earthship, as well as homes made with Cob, Cordwood and Strawbale, and meet the folks living the dream.
Last year we finished what we started in 2008, and the building is amazing. A hybrid circular kiva or hogan-like building made from cordwood, cob and rammed earth. During this year's week you'll see how to build a year-round solar greenhouse, greywater and humanure systems as well as passive solar and dehydrating systems.
