Cob Oven Workshop

Cob Oven Workshop

Thanks to last weekend's Cob Oven Workshop we now have a rather fetching cob oven down at the Farm. Workshop leader, Nico Smith, explained each stage of cob oven construction, while workshop participants got creative and very muddy. They enjoyed two days turning clay, sand, straw and water into an oven which is as beautiful as it is practical.

This video is a compilation of photographs taken during the Cob Oven Workshop and shows the process of building the oven.

What is 'Cob'?

Cob is a very environmentally-friendly building material. The raw materials used to make cob can be sourced very locally.  Cob can be produced using a relatively small amount of energy and it is biodegradable. Cob ovens are also very good for cooking pizzas!

Do we deliver to you?

We deliver to Bristol, Bath, Chew Valley, Weston-Super-Mare, Frome and plenty of places in-between!
