Understanding the “Cob” Mix &
Clean-Burning Stoves
With Viva of MudBlood Builds
Familiarize yourself with the variety of cob mixes, as well as the basic principles of rocket stove technology i.e. clean-burning wood fires for heating and cooking, and how the two go together.
My name is Viva. I grew up building with earth since my mom ran a successful business teaching cob workshops. At some point I started focusing on rocket stove technology and earthen ovens, combining my knowledge of cob with clean heating and cooking tech. The sculptural capacities of clay have drawn further down the path of pure sculpture using found objects and local clay bodies. This is currently what I am most passionate about and intend to develop further. My work is done under the moniker Mudblood Builds.
