Because cob walls are so thick it's easy to sculpt in niches and
built-in shelves. Here's an example on more of Robs work in our
Facebook
natural building group.
Rob started working with cob in 1999 after reading
'Cobbers Companion'.
That, combined with moving to an area rich in
good red clay, inspired him to build a small cab wall in his carport.
Soon after his first taste of cobbing he helped
a friend build her cob house over the next couple years while
hosting workshops with
Cob Cottage Co.
In 2000 and 2001 Rob apprenticed with
Cob Cottage Co. taking their first apprenticeship program in
Coquille, OR, USA. Rob is inspired by small intimate
spaces
sitting cross legged on the floor. His tiny buildings are womb
like space with soft curving walls and sacred altars lit by
candle light and the glow of a fire. |
