MLN Virtual Programing Presents: Cob Building with Daniel Ray

Earthen construction is one of the oldest building methods in the world—made from the ground beneath us, it’s been used for thousands of years to create homes that are beautiful, durable, and sustainable. Explore how this simple, sculptable, and inexpensive material can be used to build everything from backyard pizza ovens to full-scale homes, with a focus on its simplicity, environmental focus, and low cost. Learn how natural building methods are still used today around the world, and how applicable they are in cold climates like Montana. This presentation will cover a range of building applications such as cob houses, strawbale walls, earthen floors, and rocket mass heaters.
