Meet "Ox" the Earthen Playhouse!
Here is a video of "Ox" the playhouse we built at the Wylde Center/Oakhurst Community Garden with over 500 volunteers throughout a 2-year span:
Over the past few years we have been
replastering Ox with a lime plaster...
Mud Builders of Atlanta and Adrian Zelski with the New Earth Music Hall in Athens ~ starting January 2013~ are collaborating on a
Sustainability meets music project...
meet our first creation: "MUMZ" the Earthen Bench!! (Video of this process to come!)
"Fox" the Earthen Oven Lounge
completed by MBOA in 2008 is perfect for hanging out day or night, alone or with friends ~ but definitely best to be with friends when making the pizza in her oven!
The MBOA presents: "Sugie" The Peace Bench who lives in Decatur and is a sacred space in the middle of suburbia welcoming all folks who need a place to rest, reflect, and connect to others with peace
Meet the COB CREATURE COB OVEN who lives in Decatur GA
The Mud Builders of Atlanta collaberated with The Barefoot Builder in Tennessee and Local Artisans to create this beauty several years ago!
