Hello Everyone,
I'm so excited to have found a community like this! In the next couple of years I will be purchasing land to start a homestead but instead of have a typical home built or already there, I want to build a cob home and other cob structures. Does anyone in the area happen to know anyone giving workshops on cob building?

Failure is a sign of activity and learning. It had nothing to do with under achievement
I never want to have a team member who has never failed - They are not doing!! 👍

Thank you! No, I haven't, I've really just looked into cob. However, I do know that they do consist of straw with the other ingredients. I'll do some research on them as well!

Timbo and Dainella own it, great peeps!

I did a build workshop with them this past summer, they are excellent, and have been doing it for many years. I plan to build using one of their plans and have a workshop build with them.
