The definitive guide to building strong, cement-free foundations and sturdy earthen walls with traditional Indian techniques.
A home is only as strong as its foundation and its walls. This masterclass takes you to the very core of natural building — teaching you how to create solid foundations and robust walls entirely without cement, using proven traditional systems that have stood strong for generations.
You’ll learn to start from scratch and build up with time-tested, culturally rooted methods — from stable Earthbag structures to sculptural Cob and elegant Adobe. It’s the essential next step for anyone who dreams of crafting a natural home that stands proud, healthy, and lasts for decades.
More than just theory, this course also includes upcoming project videos and add-ons from our live sites, so you see exactly how these techniques are applied in real builds — bridging the gap between classroom learning and true on-ground execution.
This comprehensive course combines two interconnected modules, guiding you through every layer of walls and foundations while grounding you in the essential material knowledge needed to build right.
(Course numbers - 3.1 to 3.3)
Duration: ~5 hours
This is where your home truly starts to grow from the earth up — mastering foundations, plinths, beams, and an array of wall techniques.
Create a stable, long-lasting base adapted to your local soil and water conditions, all without cement.
An introduction to different wall systems, their pros, cons, and structural considerations.
This sets the groundwork for building each traditional wall system confidently.
Explore the strengths, applications, and aesthetics of each technique, so you can pick what fits your dream home, climate, and skill level.
(Course numbers - 1.1 to 1.7)

Because strong walls begin with understanding your materials, this course includes our complete Essential Materials package to ensure your foundations and walls are built right from the very first layer.
“The section on foundations was a game-changer. I never knew it was possible to build such a strong base without cement — and understanding the differences between Cob, Adobe, and Earthbag helped me pick the perfect wall system for my site. A must for any aspiring builder. Thank you, Thannal!”
— Shivini Gandhi, Potter, Goa

Which wall system is strongest or easiest for beginners?
Cob is sculptural and very forgiving; Earthbag is famously strong and simple to start. This course walks you through the pros and cons of each.
Do I need heavy machinery?
No. These traditional systems are designed for simple tools and human hands — cost-effective, accessible, and beautifully local.
