Clay plaster
​​
To this day, clay plaster remains underutilized in many construction projects across Europe and is often overlooked in architectural education. However, clay plaster is integral to vernacular architecture and is celebrated for its deeply ecological properties: it is locally available, unfired, recyclable, and reusable. These characteristics make clay plaster an invaluable asset in the pursuit of sustainable construction practices.
Our comprehensive workshop will equip you with essential knowledge and practical skills to work confidently with clay plaster in various applications. You will learn about the history, characteristics, and benefits of this traditional material, as well as modern techniques and best practices for its use. This 4-day program offers a deep dive into the world of clay plastering, allowing you to experience its versatility and ecological advantages firsthand.
​
+ Yoga & Good times
In addition to the hands-on clay plaster workshop, we are pleased to include daily yoga sessions to enhance your overall experience. These sessions aim to promote relaxation, mindfulness, and physical well-being, complementing the intensive learning and practical activities of the workshop. You will also enjoy comfortable accommodations and delicious meals.
