I just realized that I completed my first cob workshop 30 years ago.  It was exhilarating in that I thought I could finally build my own house.

When I finally did start building 8 years later, I was devastated.  No, I could not build my own house on my own.  I needed a big group of people to share the exhausting labour and make the pace of building faster than a snail climbing a mountain.

But through the miraculous gift of Fast Cob, anyone can now build their own home.  It's not only a minimum of 30 times faster but immeasurably easier for any-size of human, anywhere on the planet.  It's now the fastest way to build any structure today!

And the best part is that each workshop in our Complete Builder's Programme costs less than what I paid 30 years ago!  Not to mention that we cap the numbers at our workshops at just seven (there were dozens at the 1996 workshop) which ensures that each participant gets as much one-on-one attention as they want.

Our workshops are truly learning environments, in stark contrast to my 1996 experience and every other workshop that I've been told about, which are more workcamp than workshop.

Our next workshop coming up is the very popular All-the-Basics-of-Building from June 25-29.  This is a required course for our September roofing and foundation workshop; when combined with next year's Focus-on-Finishing workshop, these three courses make up our Complete Builder's Programme, a Programme that will give you ALL the tools and skills needed to build not only your own home but as many other buildings as you'll ever need and desire.

30 years later, the cost of truly empowering yourself to build your own world is the same as the cost of the workcamps of 1996!  Yet once these skills are attained--in only three days--they are literally priceless.


Update: we only have 3 spots left for June and 2 spots left in September, so if you want to become one of the fastest builders on the planet, visit cob.lasqueti.ca/workshops soon!

Last year, we launched our Complete Builder's Programme.  And last year, two of our workshop participants - with no previous experience and just our workshop to guide them - built their dream home!

Chris and Harmony are now plastering their new home's walls as they prepare to pour a beautiful cob floor.

In less than a year, these novice builders will be living and loving a brand new home!
You can do that, too.  It's the reason our workshops exist.
​
From start

​to finish

...Chris and Harmony spent THREE months building their home.  With no previous experience.
For the past 6 years, we've known that learning how to finish Fast Cob buildings first, makes it even easier to learn how to build them faster...everyone who has taken this path has readily agreed.

Our workshops are very different from other cob workshops.  They are primarily focused on YOUR learning; they are NOT workcamps.  Every aspect of our intensive weekends is geared to passing on our techniques and enhancing your skill set.  We limit the numbers of learners so that each person gets one-on-one attention and ALL of your questions are answered.  This is our 19th year of teaching Fast Cob and the legacy of 15 buildings attest to how our revolutionary technique makes building fast and fun, even for people with no experience at all.
