I call it the "Bible" of cob building because it contains so much information! It is my authority guide to natural building and cob construction, and my legacy from my lifetime being a builder.
I’ve put together a ton of online materials over the years on cob construction and natural building. And I’ve compiled it all into step-by-step online courses so you can get an education without traveling across country to attend workshops.
I’m offering my online courses (which you can fully download too) for 90% OFF this week.
Here’s what you get in the online courses:

- Lesson PDF Notes – Well designed lesson notes for each module sharing detailed information on each topic.
- My cob building eBook!
- 1 hour of video lessons on designing cob/earthen/natural buildings
