If you really think about it, most people can’t go to attend a cob workshop. There are various reasons for this, but usually its one of these:

You just don’t have enough time available
You can’t get vacation days off
You can’t afford the high workshop fees and travel expenses
I recognized this as a big problem facing the natural building movement.

How are people ever going to be empowered with these skills and make a difference in the way we build if most people are barred from taking workshops for these sorts of reasons?

For a solution to this problem, I wanted to completely eliminate the reasons people usually have for not being able to take a cob workshop.

So, this is what I did in a nutshell…

I took the traditional cob workshop and made it virtual.

Yes, I made a comprehensive cob workshop that can be taken via the internet.

This is what that means for you:

You can learn from home at your own pace
You don’t need to ever take vacation days off
No travel required
You only pay a fraction of the cost!
As a teacher who’s goal is to deliver my students with a pathway to success, I have made it my task to over-deliver with this course.

I guarantee that you will learn more in this online course than any other comprehensive workshop you could actually go and attend.

Live workshops are great and very important, but with most of them they just don’t cover all of the important topics. Even though workshops can be for a week or more, most of that time is usually not spent efficiently learning all the aspects of building really needed.

A standard week-long cob workshop is usually focused so much on mixing large quantities of cob and building cob walls that a whole list of other important topics is passed right over.

Again, in my attempt to solve problems I’ve made the online cob workshop comprehensive in its scope. You don’t get the hands on aspect of a live workshop, but you get everything else and then some more!
