Seven Generations Natural Builders
(SGNB) is dedicated to teaching people how to house themselves. We teach
cob, straw bale, and other natural building skills. We
advocate building with local natural materials using methods that are ecologically
sensitive, environmentally sound, and economically affordable.
We believe it's important for new builders to learn a
balance of natural building techniques.
Why is SGNB where new builders learn natural building?
- Our emphasis is introduction to cob, straw bale, and natural building
courses. SGNB is focused on teaching the new builder.
- Our instructors teach and speak at events around the world
such as The Solar Living Institute's 'SolFest' in California
and 'Sustaining Regeneration Conference' conducted by the Cornwall
Sustainable Building Trust. They also serve as visiting instructors at
other respected schools.
- We offer refresher courses to our graduates at anytime for 50%
off the regular price.
- If you are not fully satisfied with your course we will refund
your money.
A new builder will learn the basics of cob, straw bale, and other
natural building techniques through our courses. We can provide the
novice builder with the experience and confidence necessary to begin
building their home. SGNB's Introduction to
cob and natural Building course is geared to save you time and money
by providing firsthand experience with a variety of materials and
natural building techniques.
Our goal at SGNB is to provide the best learning environment in North
America for the new builder to get started. Several schools offer advanced
courses for seasoned builders and students seeking apprenticeship programs.
Graduates of our courses will be ready for more advanced training, but
our motivation is helping you with the first step.
If you're ready to get started, take a look at our course
schedule. Don't let another year pass wishing you had taken that
cob or straw bale workshop. Make this the year to learn them
both and more with SGNB.
