Explore the art of finishing a wall or floor with earthen plasters, paints, pigments, and oils.
Come experience the finishing of an earthen building near forest park.
The final phase of an earthen cabin includes plastering, adding color,
detail, and invites you to use creativity, and construction skills in
this hands-on workshop. We will be mixing and applying cob,
creating natural final plasters from local materials, adding color,
and finishing out the building with the materials we prepare. We’ll
sculpt finishing details such as niches. We will also finish an earthen floor.
The design is a 16 ft x 12 ft earthbag ellipse with a loft and a usable living
roof space.
