Earth Building Workshops 2024



Introduction to Natural Building and Sustainable Design Course

Barbara, founder of Mount of Oaks, will teach several courses in 2024, full length and some shorter introductions – and one course designed specifically for women.

Here is a little about the 8 day courses…

Barbara says, ‘The main focus will be on the theory and practice of working with EARTH. You will learn the basics of COB, CORDWOOD, WATTLE & DAUB, ADOBE BRICKS, LIGHT EARTH SLABS, EARTHBAGS, EARTH AND LIME PLASTERS and other finishes. Yes, all these in 8 days.’
