These workshops will give you hands-on experience in the construction of a small cob building including windows, doors, glass bottle facades and a living roof.
It is an ancient building technique that has been used since prehistoric times, made by mixing clay with straw, sand and water. This earthen mixture is then trodden,shaped and moulded onto the wall in a process known as cobbing.
