About the event
October 6–11 | Your Build Site
This fall, Unbound Earth School and The Wood-Fired Community are bringing community members together for an Earth Oven Build Challenge!
We’re encouraging people to form teams of 5–10 individuals and gather during our first annual Hearth & Hands Convergence, (October 6-11) to build a wood-fired pizza oven together.
Each team will build a 20–32 inch wood-fired oven using one of the most abundant natural materials in our region: clay-rich earth.
Build as a Team
Every team will need a team captain to help organize the group, coordinate materials, and oversee the build from start to finish.
