Cob and Adobe Building workshops

ADOBE & COB
Cob is one of the oldest and most eco-friendly ways of building, and is accessible to people of all ages, abilities, means or backgrounds.

Cob Homes have seen a renaissance as a financially viable, relaxing, and enjoyable building-method where you get your hands and feet in touch with the Earth. It's also about the sheer beauty and infinite creative potential of building with cob.

A natural thermal insulator, cob is excellent at regulating temperatures; whether storing heat or keeping the building cool relative to outside temperatures.

People experience psychological well-being from living in natural structures. The natural tones and aromas of materials such as stone, wood, straw and earth affect us on a very basic instinctive level, and are life enhancing.

Earthworx will host a 5 day natural building materials workshop.

Making a difference!

During completion of each workshop, a structure will be built within the community to promote self-sustainability and reinforce the benefits of environmentally conscious building methods.

These workshops are designed to create a deeper understanding and knowledge of Cob and Adobe building methods, with plenty of hands-on practical experience to give you the confidence to design and construct your own Earth buildings and projects.

A 5 day workshop will include:

Space limited! Bookings essential!

Next workshop COMING SOON!

Workshop and Accommodation package available at the retreat.
