Cob Building Workshop
The Growing
Gardens Project, sponsored by Children in Need, has a very exciting
project at the bottom of the garden: creating a cob building!
Kevin McCabe
(a professional cob builder!) ran a workshop for us here at the farm on
the 9 and 10 September 2006. We had many keen people prepared to give up
their time and a little of their money to make the project happen. It
was a really messy weekend as the photos on the next few pages show, but
it was great, educational fun! We have had many wonderful volunteers
helping us on the project, hopefully they can now all go away and make
their own cobs!
The building is still in
progress and we plan to put a turf roof upon it, along with solar panels
to light it. Please come to visit and check on our progress! When it is
completed it will be used for a children’s storytelling area, along with
being an area for the volunteers to relax in and a space to hold mini
activities. |
