Cobworks will be hosting a 1.5 hour webinar on the basics of cob construction.
Have you ever thought about taking a Natural Building /Cob workshop? What exactly is a cob house? Can I build my own cob house? Can a cob house have plumbing, electrical and heating like a "conventional" house? How much does a cob house cost?

About Cobworks
Cobworks provides training in, consultation, and construction services for earthen home construction. We are based on Mayne Island, British Columbia, Canada, but we offer workshops all over North America.
We have worked on hundreds of projects ranging from new home construction to landscape design.
Cob construction is a centuries-old technique that has been repeatedly proven to be strong, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Often, the key ingredients in cob construction can be found right on site, reducing or eliminating the carbon-requirements in transporting building materials.
