First cob experiment | A3's Blog
https://groupa3sheffield.wordpress.com/2009/02/19/first-cob-experiment
Just another WordPress.com weblog. Friday 13th saw us out in the cold making our first piece of cob:. We follwed the recipe in the book we bought yesterday (1/6 clay, 1/6 silt, 3/12 sand and the rest gravel, straw and water) and then trod the mix down. It took a long, long time to dry even though it was in the arts tower sun! We need to experiment more with water! We also played with moulding the earth mix. It was easy to do because it was so clayey. More of a sculptural item than a structural object?

We are Blogged and Cultivated. February 22, 2009, 2:53 pm. A day out to Edale. In the Peak District was refreshing. Louise unsuccessfully tried to capture sheep and steal their wool. Just a normal day. Leave a Comment so far. Feed for comments on this post. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in:.

Let’s dance | We are Blogged and Cultivated
https://findusonfloorthirteen.wordpress.com/2009/02/25/lets-dance
We are Blogged and Cultivated. February 25, 2009, 2:05 am. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will all be very busy days. Cutting willow, notching willow, joining willow and eating willow is on our quite short to-do list. We will also need to start making lots of straw infill panels along with some decorative woolen ones. Sixty willow triangles also have to be made and we plan to start a production line tomorrow. No sleep this week. Leave a Comment so far. Feed for comments on this post.

We are Blogged and Cultivated. Actually it is going to work. February 26, 2009, 12:14 am. Day five-thousand-two-hundred-and-ninety-three in the studio. After our morning workshop on Vectorworks our production line continued for another hour or two making the final willow triangles. The pile just keeps growing. Louise, Andrew, Helen and Dom stayed in the studio until 7pm joining triangles together. This commitment was well worth it as we now have a rather impressive form growing before our eyes.

Show time. Ready, steady, go time | We are Blogged and Cultivated
https://findusonfloorthirteen.wordpress.com/2009/02/27/show-time-ready-steady-go-time
We are Blogged and Cultivated. Show time. Ready, steady, go time. February 27, 2009, 10:29 pm. Early start. Bright eyes. Short dreams. Train rides. Bus times. Good fun. String some. Knot some. Admire it. Snap it. Review it. Cut it. Home. Reach for the cloud filled sky. The straw infill panels were attached to the structure as it grew from the ground and we were able to tie in the decorative string infill panels near the tip of our triangular spectacular. Sit, chat and drink. Barnsley locals seemed to enj...

We are Blogged and Cultivated. That’s 2.60 return please. February 19, 2009, 8:38 pm. Some of us went wild and decided to go on a trip out to Barnsley. Andrew, Dom and Lousie tagged along with that earthy E3 group. It was a magical experience. We found our site where we will hopefully be putting up our bamboo place for conversation. It looks pretty and not shitty. Meal of the day. Tomorrow we will be back in the studio doing bits and bobs. Personally I can’t wait. I want to play in the snow in my wellies.
