All Men's Cob Oven Workshop
May, 2008 -- dates TBA
Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada

This is a limited workshop, by invitation only. At the Natural Building Institute we'll build a cob oven from the ground up using stone foundation building techniques, clay and sand thermal building methods for cob oven construction, and use the oven for pizzas upon completion.

Topics covered: basic cob mixing by hand and feet; pyrotechnology.

The highlight of this workshop will be the four-day meat fest that will ensue. Local lamb and goats will be put on the spit. A soccer tourney will be put on in the rough and rocky field behind Gino's property, (the one with the vulture's nests), saunas, dips in the spring pond, bonfires, and marathon bocce. Look for banners the color of blood and war. Goat's heads to the winners. Tent sites provided, BYO-tent , BYO (b).

All food provided, but extra cheese is always welcome.
