Ever wanted to make your own clay oven? Join us for a 2 day Clay Oven Building Workshop with expert Saul Mosbacher.
A clay oven is any hollow, dome-shaped structure constructed out of clay, clay and sand or clay and straw, used for the purpose of baking and roasting food. They are a pretty and useful addition to any garden, but the most important reason for having a clay oven is for cooking. From wood smoked pizza cooked at 450°C for 1 minute to loaves of hot bread cooked to perfection or a large joint of lamb or pork belly cooked slowly with herbs over night in the oven’s residual heat, the clay oven can be used for all sorts of dishes and always tastes great.
Building with clay is safe fun and very versatile, with creative potential as far as the imagination will stretch. Building a clay oven is a relatively quick way to get hands on experience of building cob, natural insulation and clay plasters, we will build an oven suitable for cooking bread and pizza and many other dishes over the 2 days.
