During this workshop we will be constructing a one room straw bale and cob addition to our permitted straw bale home. We have recently completed and moved into our straw bale home, but after deciding to increase our family from 3 to 4 people this winter, we thought one more room would be a nice addition as well! May 2015 workshops coming up! We are excit.

The purpose of this project is to build a functional, aesthetically pleasing and evironmentaly responsible outdoor kitchen and dining area primarily made out of adobe and cob. The intent is to use locally found and or recycled materials in order to complete the project with very little cost. Friday, February 16, 2018. Other Sites You May Like.
