Illustrated talks by designers, practitioners and professionals
• Eco-friendly materials

A day of ideas and information for anyone concerned with buildings - those who design them, build them, live in them or work in them.
I will be doing a talk on:
Natural Earthen Finishes: Earthen plasters, paints, sculpting furniture etc.
This talk will introduce the possibilities of working with earthen finishes. The subjects explored will range from sculpting your own furniture, to bread ovens, hot tubs and clay floors. We will also be looking at a variety of different clay mixes used for sculpting, plastering and making clay paints.
