The Art of Natural Building: How natural design and local building materials can inspire a regenerative future

  • Hawk Meadow Farm 5066 Mott Evans Road Trumansburg, NY, 14886 United States (map)

I will be giving a lecture and demonstration at Hawk Meadow Farm in Trumansburg New York! On site Cob Therapy has helped to create 3 different structures using cob and other natural materials: A outdoor kitchen with Cob Oven. A Cob Bathhouse with composting toilets. And I helped with different stages of a Strawbale House with Clay and Lime Plaster finishes.

In this talk I will discuss Cob Building applications in the modern world, natural design strategies to improve our well being, and different ways to apply clay and other natural building materials in existing structures. As many of us are so far removed from this element in our modern lives, we repeatedly witness the "therapy" that cob offers builders and homeowners-Earth is energizing, detoxifying and an incredibly strong building material and has been used as a building material on every continent, in nearly every part of human history because of its versatility, availability and functionality. Cob Therapy aims to connect clients and students to Nature through the Art of Natural Building.
