"Kate is a treasure trove of knowledge offering a profound depth of understanding, ready to answer any questions you bring. I'm now fueled by inspiration
and can't wait to start on a project. Kate has great sense of humour that makes learning enjoyable. The course was way better than expected offering a deep dive into the subject. And let's not forget the delicious food in such a beautiful setting, it reminded me of the tea party from Alice in wonderland. Hopefully, we'll get to meet again. Thanks a bunch for everything and hopefully I'Il get to build an awe-inspiring house for my family thanks to you!"

Cob is the ultimate in low carbon construction – you use the earth on your site to build your home or building. Nothing beats it in terms of sustainability and once built they are warm, healthy and incredibly beautiful.
