"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. If you’re looking for the ultimate in cob building training then come and learn with the world renowned, award winning, Kate Edwards.
