COB WORKSHOP

April 10th
Saturday
9 - 4 pm
6th and Quince
in Balboa Park





Join us in repairing the Poetry Bench, a  20 foot long natural building project made of strawbale, cob and superadobe.
We will be repairing the clay plaster so park visitors can continue to enjoy this beautiful earthen bench under a stunning grove of magnolia trees. Bring a poem to drop in the poem drop box.

Our work day will consist of mixing clay/sand with your feet and sculpting cob with your hands. Its easy, fun and a brilliant way to build sustainable benches, ovens, homes.

Please bring a sack lunch, gloves, hat and water.
Donation  - $5-10 is appreciated for materials.
