Event Description
April Magill, founder of Root Down Desgns, will be leading the group as we work to complete the massage studio started during the MUDDY WEEKEND RETREAT in July. In the July workshop we built with Cob, Wattle-n-Daub, Wine Bottle work, and several other methods. Come and join us on September 15th as we finish out the Earth work, transform, and beautify this structure through various Natural Building methods; learn how to:
~ sculpt with cob
~ Bas Relief work
~ prep and prepare earthen walls
~ Earthen Plaster (clay plaster)
~ Earthen Paints (clay paint)
~ Mosaic Work
~ Lime Wash
Participants will learn how to turn local soil and sand into building materials! We will sculpt, design, and create together! All participants will gain the knowledge and confidence to return home and begin their own Natural Building projects!
Schedule:
Saturday 8:45 am – meet in the library dome for a quick introduction & presentation
MUD WORK! – 9:30am – 6pm (bring a lunch and enjoy it while sitting next to the pool or lake)

When you’re not building with mud, enjoy hiking through 133 acres of forested land, swimming in a fresh water lake, kayaking and canoeing, camping in a tree house, walking through the labyrinth, sitting next to the camp fire, and cooking in a cob kitchen!!! And much much more!!!

"The noticeably bitter taste of turnip greens has been linked by researchers to its calcium content. On an ounce-for-ounce basis, turnip greens contain about 4 times more calcium than a much less bitter-tasting cruciferous vegetables like cabbage."Russian Rye, Anyone?
Have you always wanted to make your own bread? Well, here's a little article about making rye bread with a bread machine. This bread machine came from a thrift store and only cost $11.99! The ingredients to make Russian Rye were so simple you won't believe how easy it was. Enjoy!CDC - Healthy Living
