SOLD OUT!

Dont miss our second weekend, places booking fast!


Welcome to our Cob Pizza Oven & Cordwood/Bottle-brick Wall workshop

This will be the first of 2 weekend workshops aiming to build a new Workshop Area and general hangout space at our new home in Beremboke VIC

Skills learnt:

  • How to identify any wild soil sample

  • How to create a usable Clay Slip

  • How to mix and apply Cob

  • How to construct a Cordwood wall

  • How to design and build a Cob Pizza Oven

  • How to cut and construct a Bottle-brick

We suggest attending both weekends if you’re able, as you will get a much better understanding of the whole process for both projects, and we also get to know you a bit better!

We will be building a wall to an undercover area, and an accompanying Cob Pizza Oven, to make the space into an inviting entertaining area

We will be stomping a lot of Cob (a natural building tech made from clay, sand, and straw) to construct both the Cordwood Wall and Pizza Oven

Cordwood is an old building technique which uses sections of round timber cut into pieces all the same length, and then they are cobbed together to form a wall, with only the end circular profiles exposed. It gives a very charming appearance, and is incredibly simple to achieve

We will also be adding ‘Bottle-bricks’ pioneered and made popular by the Earthship movement. The end result is a stunning array of exposed bottle ends, creating a stained-glass window aesthetic

We will also be building a Cob Pizza Oven, from scratch, all with our hands and feet. You will be clearly explained all theory behind them, so you can confidently head home and build your own!

On the following weekend, we will be finishing the wall, and firing the oven for a big pizza cook up on the Saturday night. Don’t miss it!

This workshop is set on a stunning 20acre bush block, with lots of space to camp and walk

We cook predominantly Vegan and Vegetarian meals

All meals will be fully catered, and BYO camp gear to enjoy the natural surrounds

CURRENTLY SOLD OUT!
