Step 1
Decide who will do the presentation and how to get workshop participants involved.
-
Step 2
Plan how long the workshop will take, the best date or dates for the workshop and how many participants you can handle. Oven building workshops often take place over two days with tasty cooking demonstrations on the second day.
-
Step 3
Choose a location where workshop participants can build an oven in a setting where the residents can easily use it, usually an urban back yard or near the residence in a rural setting.
-
Step 4
Create event listing flyers to let people know about the workshop, the expert teaching and what attendees can learn. Mention the hands-on nature of earth-oven building so that those who attend expect to get muddy. Include the date, location, the cost, the deadline to reserve a space and details about meals or nearby camping facilities for longer events.

Step 5
Tell community organizations or newspapers that print local events about your workshop.
-
Step 6
Use a sign up sheet at the event to keep track of participants. Provide handouts of instructions, schedule and other important information such as maps, parking, lunch and available facilities at or near the workshop site such as campgrounds for two-day workshop attendees
-
Step 7
Compile a list of materials needed and coordinate getting them to the site. Usually materials include plastic tarp, pails, tape measure, wheelbarrow, buckets, clay, sand, straw, bricks or concrete blocks, lumber scraps, water, wet newspaper and a sharp knife or saw.
