Garden Series Cob Workshop. June 6-7
April 1st, 2009
Learn to build a Cob Garden Wall and Bench
In Nanaimo this spring, The mudgirls will be teaching the first of a series of natural building workshops at the Nanaimo comunity gardens. We saw this space as somewhere that could use a little fun and artistic cob, and rather than work on private property we wanted to do a project that was accessible to the community as well as bringing some traffic and energy to a public space.During the weekend we will be going through the steps of building a cob garden wall and bench with most of the time dedicated to hands-on building. This is a great opportunity to really get your hands into the project and leave your creative mark. The focus will really be on the artistic possibilities of cob. Participants will explore scupture, mosaic, bottle designs and other fun and sculptural elements.
This is a workshop for adults but mudgirls continue to make their workshops parent accessible by offering full childcare for the entire workshop at no extra cost.
Registration fee for the weekend is $175 per individual. Group rates are also available. We are also offering two free bartering spaces for those who are financially challenged. To register for the workshop please contact me at chelseybraham@hotmail.com.
