This is the first lift of cob that our workshop class did back in April. I peeled the forms off a few days ago, and it looks great! The next class comes in on Monday to learn how to do the next cob lift.

An article on pigeon towers built with cob in the Middle East. I’m interested to know if the inclusion of salt in the mix makes any difference to the integrity of the structure. https://thecommontable.eu/buildings-for-the-birds/

I'm making progress on the massive cob wall, which we'll be building during this year's in-person workshops. Check the video. I'll be posting a full foundation video soon. I used the footer/stemwall system for this one. Learn more about my upcoming workshops here: https://www.thiscobhouse.com/cob-workshops/

How are you feeling about our new Skool Community here so far? How can it be improved, and what would you like more of? I want people to feel engaged in ideas and projects with eachother here. And as a reminder, you're welcome to post things here and share! Thanks!

Yesterday, I poured the floor on my new rammed earth outdoor shower. I'm happy to say, this luxurious shower will be available for workshop students starting in April! Yesterday, I also received the 2000 bricks that I'll be using to construct the stem wall for the massive cob wall we'll be constructing at our upcoming hands-on workshops.
