About
Join us to learn about and help build a full-size, fully functioning wood-fired cob pizza oven using the clay from under our feet, mixed with sand and straw. With no cement or machinery used in the construction, this is a truly accessible and sustainable method of building.
Using an existing stone base at here Denmark Farm, we will build an oven by recycling the old cob, as cob is infinitely recyclable.
Cob is a material with a clean conscience. Using the clay from under our feet, mixed with sand and straw, it has been a staple building material to millions across the globe for millennia. In the Americas they call it adobe. No energy-hungry cement is used in the mix, and no machinery is required for construction. This is a truly accessible and sustainable method of building that connects us to our environment, and nourishes both our soul and our body. Burning wood is a low carbon process. No fossil fuels here.
