ourselves (me and a local villager who helps) He is going to ask his grandfather for advice. Has anybody had a go at a pizza oven? I have consulted several sites and have got some ideas.

Sandy, did you look at Instructables?
Their plan isn't really pretty in my opinion, but maybe it will give you a jumping off point?
If you can't be a shining example, be a terrible warning!
I saw the River Cottage programme Toffee Apple mentions. They built theirs out of river clay in just the way I used to build snow igloos when I was little. I think they built it on a concrete slab base.
This guy wrote a blog about his oven building experiences after being an a River Cottage course: http://clayoven.wordpress.com/
Yes thats the one I found and have bookmarked. Will start the search for clay tomorrow, I suspect that will be my stumbling block, there are many words for soil types but I have not been able to find one that they will understand correctly...imagination required tomorrow.

I have been pondering all night on this oven. I have decided not to use sand as the dome form ( our sand here is grey and does not stick together well for sand castles) I am going to use an old pilates ball which I shall be able to deflate once the clay is dry.
I have several sizes of these balls from 34 years ago when I used them to treat CP children and they now are being banded about as being a recent thing

Do you not have a local pottery? I think you will find they usually have a local source of clay and maybe you could buy it off them. We have plenty of the stuff, and I was thinking of building one too, so I will be interested to know how yours turns out.
