Join us for a 2-day Cob Building intensive in Topanga Canyon in partnership with Chris of @indigenousfutures. Together, we will learn the foundations of building with cob as a sustainable alternative to conventional construction techniques.

We will be working on an earthbags teahouse— including developing the layout, grading, and building the foundation.

The goal of this weekend workshop is for students to understand the principles of cob building materials in order to think critically and be innovative. The health of our living spaces is directly correlated with the health of our minds, bodies, & communities!
