Natural Building
3-Day Intensive!!
May 16 -18, 2025
In this super fun, family-friendly 3-day event we will be learning all of the basic concepts for creating a medium called COB ~ a mix of clay, sand and straw, to sculpt small structures with!
Together we will harvest materials right here on property and learn the COB recipe for appropriate building material. We will cover everything from foundation to decoration, and all phases in between! We'll be mixing cob (clay, sand and straw) in a variety of styles using natural harvested and recycled materials 100%.
You will gain all the knowledge and confidence to go home and make a garden sculpture of your own!
This three-day workshop includes 3 days of camping under the gorgeous skies here at Golden Rocks Permaculture Farm. Our sweet little camping area has spectacular views of sunrises and moonrises, and some of the darkest skies to be found for great star gazing and YES! We see shooting stars ALL THE TIME! For non-camping types, you may choose to stay in a private or dorm-style indoor room(s) at a deep discount.
Lunch and snacks will be included.
Cost for the three-day workshop is $300 and includes organic lunch from our gardens. Overnight stays can be added before or after workshop, as well as "Glamping" sites and farmhouse rooms. OUR WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS enjoy DEEPLY DISCOUNTED rates on room rentals. Golden Rocks Permaculture Farm is located in Middletown, Lake County, CA. We are deliciously close to Harbin Hot Springs, and amazing hiking trails too!
