A one day option for the Earth Oven workshop is being offered in response
to requests from people who would like to learn about natural building
techniques, but don’t have the time to attend a three-day event.

Saturday and Sunday will both be great days to join in the fun of mixing
cob from clay, straw and sand.  You’ll learn about basic construction,
sourcing local materials, firing and baking techniques and the joy of
engaging with others in a rare and earthy experience!

Please understand that a one day session will provide a good introduction
to cob construction. It will not teach the complete oven building process.
Some might find that a combination of Saturday and Sunday would offer the
best overall experience.

Each one day option includes lunch and beverages during the day. The cost
for a single day is $75.

These ovens are a wonderful gathering point for outdoor events!
