    I spent the last month interning and living at Strawbale Studio with Deanne. Just two weeks ago she was excitedly telling us around the dinner table that this video hit 10k views, now it’s well over 100k !! Deanne is a gem, and SBS is magic, it fills me with so much joy to see this amount of acknowledgment and praise for this place ❤

    Over 20 years ago I found a photograph of this strawbale cottage with snow on the ground around it. I've shared the elements of sustainable, passive, natural building with hundreds of students using the photo with the story that this beauty was handcrafted by women, but I did not know who to credit. Thank you @Natural Building and Deanne Bednar for telling Fran Lee, Carolyn Koch, Gregie Mathews and your story! I'm thrilled with tears in my eye to learn the details, see inside, and feel warmth in my chest as warm as a rocket oven heated bench. Best of health and blessings of continued creativity!

    I grew up in Vietnam. When we were very poor, my dad had to used straw and clay dirt to build us a house in our 1 acre land by using cob wall method; we were kids around 8-10 years old at time helping out dad putting the wall together; it was fun; the roof was covered by coconut leaves; this was done in 1978; I am glad to see how it begins popular in United States

    I did an internship here four years ago and it was on the best experiences of my life. Deanne is a gem and SBS is so special. I’m very grateful to have not only lived there for a month, but actually have a hand in these beautiful creations. I met so many amazing people that passed through as well. When I stayed, we did the finish plaster on middle earth and it’s amazing to see it now ❤ Support her if you can!!

    Such an inspiration!!! Thank you the more people see and hearing about the alternative to stick and brick homes. The Oregon Cobb cottage and they have been doing it and teaching for over 30 years. Sorry Deanne I was directed to the channel person. I love that you have done this. This is encouraging to see you do your Cobb studio. I am 60 and want to get starting my own home and growing my grown food and composting toilet. And rain water catchment.I am proud you did this and you should be very proud. What a great job.

    I've harbored a secret fantasy of crafting a unique, sculptural home that snuggles gently into the landscape.
    For someone with an artistic soul, living inside the fruits of imagination elevates life itself as a harmonic artform.
    These cottages are a visual song of hand, heart, and community. Tremendous awe & respect to you! 🤲✨️❤️‍🔥

    This was a very informative video and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. By the way, I am from India where in the country side villages we can still find houses built in this process. It has excellent insulation capacity and protection in both winter and summer. The earthy colour is very aesthetic and pleasant, which enhances and compliments any kind of ornamental artwork...

    Facinating approach to build housing on local natural material. Modern times the synthetic materials are bombarded in the market place & very attractive although they are very
    expensive and harmful in the long run. Ancient great ideas are back & are creating more environment friendly true natural and minimal architecture in the townscape
    which is befitting the landscape and then life is becoming more natural also interesting.! Great, keep it up going.!

    I first saw a cob structure on the property of an AirB&B I stayed at in Asheville, NC. It was amazing. I stared at it a long time trying to figure it out. It didn’t appear new but at the same time it seemed very sound and sturdy (no melting/weathering as you’d expect from a mud building!) Excited to learn more!

A very sturdy round structure with protective spikes on the outside so wild boars don't run into it! They look like stars! Unbelievable, how fast and focused these young and much older women are! In no time, they've got a little dwelling!!Knots and faith..alot of joyful singing while the knotting and designing is being completed! You see? We are all.the same! We all.need a home!

      Вы правы. Простые и чистые люди земли бережно относятся к природным ресурсам, нам не надо богатств, земель и новых захватнических территорий. Мы умеем радоваться друг другу, солнцу и всему нас окружающему. Пусть на земле будет мир, дружба народов и любовь, с остальным человек сильный справится. Всем любви к друг другу, понимания, прощения и принятия без религий, политики и расовой дискриминации.

    I have an awesome photo of my little son sitting on a stone slab which was set chest high as a shelf in the cob wall that was only a few layers higher than that shelf at the time of the photo.

One of the daunting tasks in making our world more environmentally enmeshed are the building codes.
