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
