Wattle & Daub is an earth building technique that's not often talked about these days. It's basically a thin cob wall built between post & beam and woven lattice. I don't normally recommend wattle & daub for exterior walls unless you live in a tropical climate. The walls are too thin for substantial insulation or thermal mass. But they're quick to build and work great for natural, non-toxic interior walls in any home or building.

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/

I am happy to join this type of skool

I've actually never shared these before, but one of my online students from a few years ago built her own beautiful cob house in Sri Lanka. She did an amazing job! What do you think?

Alex, is it possible to make my own tiles out of earthen clay? I would like to make some for a kitchen and a bathroom, if possible. If so, I would also possibly paint some of them with natural paint. Then I would probably need to put a linseed sealer on the top. Do I need to bake them? And I ask that because an earthen floor is not baked. If I had to bake them, do I need to bake/fire them at 2000 degrees? Or could I get away with a longer bake at about 800 degrees (because I have access to an oven at that temperature)? I would like to do some experiments. Thank you!!
