[Humanpowered] You can build anything with Fast Cob!

[Dave Olsen]

Humans are builders.  We love it.  Put a child in a sandbox and watch her/him 
create amazing things, even if they are mostly in our minds.

That's what I love about Fast Cob!  I can build anything, all year 'round.  From 
the home we live in, to the home our chickens will live in, a swimming pool, an 
oven, dog house, covered eating and storage area...the list just goes on and on...

But why build with Fast Cob?  I do because it's dirt cheap, fun to sculpt, 
incredibly durable and strong, and...fast!  I still make the odd thing out of 
wood when I have it and cob wouldn't do the trick (movable cupboards, trailers, 
you get the idea), but it truly is easier and faster to just take from our pile 
of clay-y sand and start making stuff.

For the first time ever, and possibly the last time, we are hosting workshops in 
May and June because we've got a giant tarp acting as our Fast Cob! big top.  
This circus won't be riding elephants or horses, but there likely will be some 
clowning around.  Fast Cob! inspires the joy in all of us, as we literally 
create from the ground up, with enough speed to astound us but not so much to 
exhaust us.  I can Fast Cob! all day, every day and still be coming back for 
more, it's that fun and sustainable.

With just less than 2 weeks before our May 9-16 workshop begins, I'm putting out 
the call for at least two more Fast Cobbers-to-be.  And to make it irresistible, 
I'm also announcing...

*A 2-for-1 May Workshop Last Minute Special**!!!* Click here to fill in our 
online application. <cob.lasqueti.ca/workshops>

We've only got room for 4 more folks, so you'd best act fast.  We've got 
everything ready for you, and Anne has a great menu planed for us to enjoy 3 hot 
meals each day, with 2 tasty snacks in between.

Each day is designed to lead you through the basic concepts (how to design, 
build foundations, find the best cob materials, integrate electrical and 
plumbing into your structure, naturally plaster, and top it all off with a 
long-lasting roof) as well as give you many opportunities to deepen your 
knowledge of Fast Cob!

We want you to be able to start building anything you desire at the end of this 
week.  We provide the tools and materials, as well as the instruction, 
nourishment, and campground (or you can upgrade to our very comfy queen sized 
bed in a Prospector's Tent).

Every one of our 20+ workshops have turned into a magical week, and this year 
will be no exception.

For more information and to access our on-line application, please visit

The power of Fast Cob! is truly unique and formidable.  I truly hope you'll 
experience it for yourself and see how you can build almost anything without 
bankrupting yourself, or destroying the planet!
