photos from workshop!

Thanks to all the folks that came along & got dirty at our Cob Pizza Oven workshop on Sunday 25th! With around 40 people attending we have declared it a resounding success and look forward to the possibility of further gatherings in the future. Please don't hesitate to get in touch or post with your thoughts, reflections and ideas..... and enjoy the pics!

WORKSHOP PARTICIPANT LIST

Hey folks!

I have created a participant list from the workshop so that people can take the initiative & get in touch with each other if they are so inclined. I'll do my best to make it available to everyone who attended via email, post etc. Please contact me if your details are incorrect or you'd like to add or remove yourself from the list.
