Learn the living traditions of adobe building and wood-fired cooking with horno builder Amaury Bargioni. Through hands-on workshops at Moon Horse Ranch, participants will explore the full process, from making adobe bricks and building a traditional earthen oven to gathering around the finished horno to bake and share a feast.

Choose one workshop or join us for the entire series. Each workshop stands on its own, so no previous experience or participation in an earlier workshop is required. All skill levels and backgrounds are welcome.

ABOUT AMAURY

Amaury Bargioni is a professional Adobe Horno Builder based in Santa Fe, but originally from Paris, France. Amaury’s interest in Land Art led him to Adobe, from making compositions rearranging elements of the landscape to literally making things out of the earth. He runs Eye of the Horno, an organization dedicated to maintaining the practice of earth building and wood-fired cooking using earthen ovens.

Amaury is a student of Ernest Aragon, a legendary adobe builder in New Mexico and a recipient of the The Earthbuilders’ Honorary Lifetime Member Award. Over the last few years, Amaury has introduced over 150 people to the craft of adobe through his building workshops, partnering with organizations such the New Mexico Youth Conservation Corps, The Semilla Project, the Santa Fe Indian School, and the Santa Fe Botanical Garden. His Adobe work has been commissioned by private individuals in Rio Rancho, Albuquerque, Santa Fe and most recently by Site Santa Fe.
