2nd Friday of the month at Crescent Moon cafe, Downtown
Hickory from 5 - 7pm. We attended for the first time this month and
enjoyed a stimulating and entertaining chat with some regulars. It was wonderful to discover artists, a cob
building expert and the Chair of the Green Building Council. Cob
or cobb or clom (in Wales) is a
building material consisting of clay, sand, straw, water and earth, similar to
adobe. Cob is fireproof, resistant to
seismic activity and inexpensive. It can be used to create artistic, sculptural
forms and has been revived in recent years by the natural building and
sustainability movements. Hickory has a
wealth of clay, so what a fabulous resource we have locally!
Come next month for a chat and to make some connections. The food is good and inexpensive if you fancy a bite to eat.
Update 2012: Green Drinks is no longer meeting. Thanks for the good times and good connections!
