Successfully shuttled the cob kitty that me & .rey made a couple years ago, across town to a happy new home on the Front Range with !
Phew she was heavy af wow.
If I ever make a mini mobile cob oven for a van, placing it in a dish of sand is a nice strategy.

Here is the cob sculpture I made for ! I really appreciate they gave me to try something new out. To move my work in a different direction, one that is more play-based, more trippy.
It was great to talk to folks throughout the weekend about natural building with a living demonstration of the beauty and detail that earthwork can entail. And it felt good to see folks leaving offerings and burning incense on the altar spaces incorporated into the sculptural end. Once the bench dries and we oiled it it became of resting point between stages. Yay.
It felt apropos to be situated next to the .dome and in the network space. Together we held a sweet and soft place amongst the swirling crowds and pumping bass. I cherished all the love and curiosity I received for doing this installation, and for helping me finish it out before and during the weekend: I wish I had had more time to lead some people in the cob mixing process, but this was the first go around and there are more to come. I feel like I’ve really found an avenue, a mode of mud building that speaks to the core of my relationship with clay. I’ve always felt like more of an artist than a builder, and a I’m overjoyed that accepted my proposal. It was a great weekend, a great week. I’m looking forward to next year. For now, I rest.

Here I cobbled up a quick mini rocket-Lorena stove w/ & for ’s upcoming cob workshop at the . There’s gonna be a lot of folks comin through for the experience and we thought it’d be nice to have another stove around for making hot water and learning about cooking with wood AND how easily you make one of these for yourselves…A stove that burns clean while cleaning up deadfall, and is easily disassembled once it’s no longer in use. I love making stoves out of scrap and used materials and is exactly what we did here. The main body took an hour or so to put together and is made from an assortment of old bricks and cinder blocks gathered from around the property. We then spent another couple hours building a little scrap granite countertop and at that point we decided to plaster the dang thing with the site soil.

This was an aside to erecting the round pole roof structure that Sage, , , myself and others are building in anticipation for the workshop!

I had the pleasure of spending a week here at All You Need (with my mom no less!) en route to the annual MHA gathering at Wild Acres in North Carolina. The land here at AYN is absolutely stunning and is being tended so carefully and lovingly and skillfully by the land tenders who live here. My only regret is having not spend more time aimlessly wandering around the forests. There is an epic lichen meadow that meanders through the property the likes of which I’ve never seen before. And of course it’s home to the gopher tortoises which are the keystone species of this ecosystem.

Sage’s workshop is not to be missed! He is incredibly talented and refreshingly alternative in his approach to building and holding space for learning. Plus, the site is quite literally feet away from a deep pond excellent for swimming.
Plus (the best band in the whole world) is playing with others on the 23rd! And there will be movement workshops and delicious food!!

This summer come learn how to build 3 different types of at Wanosh Forest Gardens!
One stove a week for 3 weeks starting with a mini-mass heater J-Tube style in a 10’x12’ cob studio. Followed by a 8” Batchbox and heated bench in a 30’ yurt, and finally a modified Batchbox as the heat source for a sauna (built in a previous workshop).
This month-long rocket stove intensive is appropriate for beginners and those looking to sharpen their knowledge and skills. Specifically designed for those who want to take all three courses, which build on each other, and finish fully prepared to build a rocket stove of any kind on their own.
In addition to the August rocket stove intensive, Wanosh is offering a handful of juicy workshops from March to September. Other natural building intensives including a sauna build, a round pole timber-framing course, and a plasters workshop with Michael Smith and Athena Steen of the Canelo Project. Mushroom propagation, co-wilding retreats, fire regeneration weekends, and a PDC with Penny Livingston. Check these workshops out in detail at www.wanosh.org and use the code “viva” for 5% off any of the offerings. And if you want to take the full rocket stove intensive there is an additional discount.

Meet Wubbsy. Wubbsy likes to cook, and also likes to care. Wubbsy is non-binary, often hot headed, and solid as a rock. Everyone loves Wub, but sometimes it feels transactional. Luckily Wubbsy has a lot of more-than-human friends who like to hangout on the daily. Plus, Wubbsy loves getting baked by the sun. A century’s saturation of sun seeping all the way through their thick skin, a sensation that makes them feel just like a steamed dumpling. But more than anything Wubbsy likes to wobble. And wobble they will, eventually back into the ground. Back with the stones and back to the stars, where clearly the wobble is never far.
