La Capilla de Santa Maria, Hendersonville, NC

Can you see the oven in the back left?

This is a part of our crew

we saved the plastering for the experienced

We are ready for pizza!


I was invited to build a retained heat earthen oven (ie. pizza oven!) with the church community. What a fun and rewarding project for us all! Together we collected materials from site, including sand WAY up from the river below, clay from the hillside, and rock from around the site. It was quite empowering to provide such necessary materials for the project with no outside resources! Church members of all ages worked together on sunday afternoon's and some evenings throughout the week to get the job done. We had a lot of fun getting to know one another, as well as eating some really good food! Thanks for everyone who participated in the project! Pizza is ready!
