Awendaw Community Building
Thank you for your interest in attending the Awendaw Community Building event!
This will be a fun, hands-on learning experience where you will have a ‘crash course’ on a variety of natural, climate-smart building methods. You will also co-build a cob oven in this course and leave with the knowledge to go home and build your own. Your participation will also help to grow our newly-founded organization and will allow us to continue our facilitator training development work so that we can begin to extend our reach into more communities across the Carolinas.
Come early and join us for a special Saturday Night Barn Jam (9/16) from 6-10pm as we dance and party with the Yum Yum Boys! A portion of the proceeds will support RDBC! Find more information here.
In this hands-on course, you will learn the basics of:
cob/earthen construction methods
hempcrete insulation
straw-clay insulation
clay-hemp plaster
insulation vs. thermal mass ; thermal dynamics
soil identification and modification techniques
learn how to build a 22” cob oven at home
Participants will also be exposed to many other building methods and materials we are working with and are excited about here at RDBC, as we work to ‘Advance Regional, Climate-Smart, Equitable Building Solutions’ in the south!
