Large-scale Cob Workparty
Friday & Saturday, August 5th & 6th, 11AM - 6PM
Alameda Point Collaborative Community Gardens:
Special note!! We will be using a large mortar mixer to make cob on both days. If you have a large-scale cob project in mind, this will be of interest to you, as it is one way to produce large amounts of cob
quickly. The traditional Happy Mud Dance (foot-mixed cob) will also be taught if there is interest within the group. We will also continue adding sculptural elements as we build.
Photos and info on this City Repair/Alameda Point Collaborative project can be found at www.apcollaborative.org/cobproject.htm.
Food will be provided throughout the workday. Contributions of $5-$15 are appreciated to help offset the cost of renting the mixer for two days, though no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
Bring: sunscreen & a hat, sandals or flip-flops, clothes you can get dirty, a water bottle, a smile and your favorite joke, musical instruments (jamming goes extremely well with mud), your kids, your parents, a
date.
For questions, contact Valerie at valkyrie713(at)yahoo(dot)com or (510)467-9920.
