Earthen plasters for all walls

Learn the basics of mud, w/an emphasis on plasters. Identify and mix various muds for covering existing walls and buildings; sculptural mud for shaping and decorative ornaments; natural (fireproof!) insulating mud; mud for natural colors and paints; and cob or adobe mud for walls, ovens hearths and entire homes. Yurt weaving, begun May 1st, should be done so we will begin putting mud over the woven willow walls. Guest Instructor is Kiko Denzer.
