Join us for a 3 day hands-on intensive and learn how to build your own earthen wood-fired oven!

This course will cover all aspects of creating an earthen oven: design, materials, building, and finally heating and using the oven. We will use stone and clay harvested on site, and discuss the benefits of other materials used in its construction.

Come be immersed in a beautiful outdoor environment! Get your hands and feet muddy stomping and sculpting a fully functional oven. The weekend will conclude with a pizza party served hot and fresh from our efforts.

Leave the course with the experience and confidence to build your own wood-fired earthen oven at home.
