Getting our MUD on in Seward








It could not have been a better DAY 1 of Cob building! We started the first layer of Cob for the Poetry Sharing Post in the Seward Neighborhood. Sisters Camelot came to join us with delicious food once again. It was an awesome start! Little kids got to enjoy in some COB mixing, feeling it in between their little toesys. For any of you uncertain as to what that weird word Cob is and confused as to why you can't find any pieces of corn anywhere, it is an ancient building technique that over half of the world still uses today to live in. Very similar to adobe, it is a mixture of sand, clay, water and straw that is very strong, sculptural and natural to build with. We will be finishing the structure on Saturday, the 30th and encourage all to come out and partake in this awesome event.
