2025 WORKSHOPS

Come to our campus to transform the clay soil under our feet into beautiful clay walls and plasters! We have 14 demonstration cottages, 2 permitted natural homes, 2 earthen ovens, and a series of natural garden walls here. This collection of structures showcases a variety of natural wall systems, living and metal roofs, and a mix of foundation types.

The focus of our workshops is hands-on learning! Expect to get muddy and exhausted, and be able to go home with genuine knowledge of how to build for yourself. Tours, presentations, and discussions cover additional topics that we don’t get to on the building site.

Our multi-day workshops include delicious, wholesome meals that we share as a group, including a cob oven pizza night. We have two hot shower stalls available, compost toilet facilities, a pond to relax by, and a fire pit for evening gatherings.

We look forward to seeing you at one of our events!
