A-B Tech Cob 101 class project

Learning to cob is fun!

We always thought we were too big for this? :)

Natural Building Bench

Hammer time!


I was asked to teach an introductory natural building course this spring/summer as a part of the Continuing Education Department. The class is called Complete Cob: Natural Building 101, it continues to be offered throughout the year, with more advanced classes in the works. Together, the class and members of the Artisan Builders Collective, Matthew and Christina guest teaching built a cob bench outside the Construction Sciences Building main entrance. With an evolving brainstorm of ideas, we came up with a true "natural building" design: A hammer that morphs into a tree forming the back and arm rest of the bench. How appropriate!
