There are four groups of questions the sponsoring team should consider. We can work with you to develop your design well in advance of your workshop date. We administer many of our workshops ourselves, particularly on sites that are close by. In this case, responsibility for registration and running the course is completely ours. With this arrangement, we allow one sponsor to take the workshop for free, in exchange for which you distribute posters, arrange facilities for participants, and provide a workshop kitchen.
Sponsors are responsible for preparing the work site and supplying materials and tools.
You also agree to complete the foundation of your cob building at least one week in advance. We normally consult with you on the siting and design of your cob cottage. The second option is that you administer the workshop yourself. This means that you set the fees and register participants You contract with us only for the actual teaching and for any basic design help. We provide promotional materials for copying and distribution, help advertise your workshop in our literature, and refer interested people to you for registration.
