Kiko will teach earth oven construction in a day long, hands-on workshop. Earthen (or cob) ovens have become common in backyards, schools, and even churchyards and parks. Many people have built small businesses around them. Kiko has been involved with ovens and the broader earthen building revival since 1994. In addition to many ovens, he has built earthen buildings, gardens, sculpture, stoves, and masonry heaters. He has taught traditional methods in workshops and through his popular manuals: Build Your Own Earth Oven, and Dig Your Hands in the Dirt: A Manual for Making Art out of Earth. His presentation provides an historical context for the arts of fire and bread, as well as background for his full-day workshop on building a simple oven out of hybrid materials that maximize efficiency and minimize cost.
