It's Fast Cob! Workshop Time!!!

Many people have been contacting me about our upcoming workshops, and we are finally ready to shift our focus to these magical weeks.

Fast Cob! makes it possible to build your dream (home, office, greenhouse, garage, castle, shed, you-name-it) without going into debt and without machines, special tools, or hordes of people.

Fast Cob! is fun, easy, affordable, long-lasting (like, hundreds of years), fireproof, insect-proof, rodent-proof, and at the very least, earthquake resistant (who knows how big the Big One will be).

Fast Cob! won't make a mountain of garbage: not in the building stage and not in the demolition stage.  You build with the earth and any excess simply goes back to the earth.

Fast Cob! is healthy - it breathes - so your buildings don't mould, mildew, or create toxic or even stale air.

Fast Cob! is easy to maintain and live with: it naturally keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter.

Fast Cob! is gorgeous...you literally hand-sculpt beauty into everything you create...it inspires creativity!

But don't just take my word for it...here's what people who have taken our workshops say:

"The best thing that happened is I really feel able to build my own cob house!!!!"

"Overall a really amazing week. I didn't expect to learn so  much in one week, I really think I would have the confidence to start my own cob building project...really beautiful camp site in the 'burbs'"

“I enjoyed how you let us experiment and fail and learn on the fly.”

“Transformative and empowering!”

“You have no idea how excited I am that I now pretty much know how to build a house out of dirt.”

Every one of our 21 workshops to date have been uniquely magical; the people that have graced us by their energy and enthusiasm have made us so eager to continue this tradition and spread the word.

Each workshop has a limit of 6 participants and features hands-on, one-on-one instruction during each of our 30 learning sessions, ample time for every question to be answered, and an environment that is breath-takingly beautiful.

Our camping sites are quiet, clean, and in a beautiful forest.

All of our workshops include 3 hot, homemade vegetarian meals and 2 nutritious snacks every day, made from fresh, local and organic ingredients wherever possible.

Because there are no machines or motors on site, it is a safe and quiet place for anyone, younger or older, and interesting conversation and laughter is common and encouraged.
