The class will cover the fundamentals of finish clay plaster, including material sourcing, processing, formulation, mixing, and application. The class will be centered around applying a second coat of clay plaster made with Vermont wild clay onto straw panel walls that have already received a base coat. This is an excellent introduction to those looking to build confidence to tackle their own clay plaster projects, especially as a finish for natural wall systems. Ample classroom time and hands-on time offers a solid foundation in the art and science of clay plaster.

This class is best suited for those with some amount of trowel experience, or experienced DIYers.
