DESCRIPTION:

Clay plaster is the best introduction to the vast world of natural paints + plasters, because it is forgiving in its application, has a simple recipe, and is safe and fun to apply by trowel or by hand. Join us to get hands-on experience with the mixing and application. Together, we’ll be adding a fresh layer on one of our natural walls, which is a really satisfying transformation to be a part of!

This is a perfect course for those who are interested in natural plastering, but are not ready to commit to the more intensive 3-Day Plasters + Paints course. We’ll also tour our campus to see and discuss our demonstration cottages, cob oven, and cob/strawbale garden walls.
