A hands-on weekend workshop to show you how to build your own cob (earth) oven as well as the ancient skill of sourdough (yeast-free) bread baking. You'll take away your own sourdough bread starter along with a wealth of knowledge gained from having done it yourself with skilled guidance from experienced practitioners.
Linda McKee has been building with Cob for almost 20 years , having been taught by Ianto Evans from Oregon's Cob Cottage Company. Through workshops, she has  have constructed around 70 cob ovens at many Community garden sites & private homes around SE Qld & Northern NSW. For the past 18 years she has taught Permaculture  at various Community gardens in Brisbane, and for 5 years, managed Edible Landscapes Permaculture Nursery at Northey Street City Farm.
Peggy Bollmann is an Ayurvedic Practitioner and experienced cook and sourdough bread maker. Early on in her training as a health practitioner, Peggy was introduced to the old saying: "with healthy food, medicine is of no need, without healthy food, medicine is of no use". This has naturally led her to combine health education and food eduction, aiming to both inspire people about healthy eating as well as teaching them hands-on kitchen skills required to produce yummy meals while leading busy lives.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

pri_teacher

PRI Teacher

With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable.

PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
