Clay Oven Workshop 5th and 6th February 2014 – Chiang Dao, Thailand
At this workshop we’ll be building an oven for the Juergen and Mem – the master bakers of Chiang Dao! After completing this hands-on workshop you’ll have the confidence to build a clay oven in which to bake bread and pizzas, roasts and stews.
You’ll learn how to:
- design and build a foundation and base for your oven
- assemble the materials required to build your oven
- source and test your earth for the right clay content
- build your oven through to the first firing
- produce a set of oven tools
Over the 2 day workshop:
- finish an oven base
- lay the hearth bricks
- make the sand mould
- build the oven dome itself
During the workshop we’ll look at the wider context of building with earth, and information will be provided covering what we’ve learnt, including opportunities and links for those who want to learn more.
The workshop is run by Sally Francis who has 20 years on site experience and an MSc in building, energy and the environment.
She is based in Brighton in the UK, and runs EcoRefab www.ecorefab.co.uk which specializes in using natural materials in decorating, refurbishment and building.
