Earthbuilding School

Free online Pizza Oven Workshop

We ran this workshop live online during lockdown, with people all over the world following along in real time. Since then, many more have accessed it and built beautiful cob ovens.

We hope you find this resource useful. It includes all the info you need to build your own oven, and you can follow along building while you watch.
