I'm happy to announce my upcoming Spring & Summer 2026 Cob & Straw Building Workshops are open for registration. Come and join me in beautiful eastern Tennessee for our next Introduction to Cob and Straw Workshop! We will be constructing both a cob building and a straw-clay building, and pouring an earthen floor! These workshops are perfect for beginners and experts alike! You will get the expert knowledge to build with cob and straw! Either for small-scale structures or large-scale projects like homes and buildings. Please click the link below to get the schedule and class details. Click Here for Schedule and Workshop Details I have NOT raised class prices, and I've added even more great benefits to the classes. So, you can still enjoy the low pricing and incredible value ratio! I look forward to meeting more of you here in 2026! Alex

Hello, I registered for the workshop later this month. I would like to speak with someone directly about accomodate. I can be reached via email or phone. Thanks

Here are some photos to preview for the case study on the Florida Cob Cottage build we finished a few years back. This one was an interesting build, and a lot of good lessons were learned for huge improvements. Florida is a tough place to build cob, not because of the weather, but because the soil has very little amount of clay content. I'll get into more specifics in the video case study. Please leave your questions here!
