Cover Story in Extra Newspaper!
Chicago's bilingual newspaper Extra featured the students of North-Grand HS in their cover story called Comunidad Verde, a Green Community!
Great projects. I was not familiar with cob before seeing your website. Every time I get depressed about the fate of the nation, I should remember to see what kids and creative teachers are doing. Jim Strickler
I know that it has been more than six months since you worked on the cob house, but I have been meaning to post since then.
I think this is a great project, and I hope you will be retuning to it this summer.
At my daughters' school, there is interest in cob houses. The school will be doing some organic gardening and one of the participants mentioned your work at Grand-North.
It was rather interesting for me to read that post. Thank author for it. I like such themes and everything that is connected to them. I would like to read a bit more on that blog soon.
The Cob Connection builds community by building cob. Using the adobe-like mixture of clay, sand and straw, just about any type of structure is possible. When people build together they develop skills and discover resources that enhance communities. For more information about cob or the Cob Connection contact Chad Bliss at cobconnection.chad@gmail.com .
