The Boghill Cob Building Experiment:
Come get muddy with us!
Boogie as you build!
Creative curves, Living roof, Glass bottle windows…
So what is cob ?
Cob is an ancient building material that has been used since prehistoric times. It is made by mixing clay with straw, sand and water.
This earthen mixture is then trodden onto the wall in a process known as cobbing.
Discover how to make your own home in an aesthetically, sculptural, environmentally friendly material whilst having loads of fun mixing the stuff with your bare feet!!!
