Join House+Earth for two full days of hands-on American Clay earth plasters. D Mulvihill, an American Clay artisan applicator and authorized teacher, will provide an overview of the four different American Clay plasters, their application, and their capabilities. Starting at 9:00 am Thursday morning, we'll hit the ground running and will cover:

• History of clay plaster and what sets American Clay apart
• Substrate preparation & acceptable substrates
• Mixing clay plaster
• Binding agents
• Clay plaster application
• Artistic finishes
• Inside & outside corners
• Compression and finish techniques
• Care & repairs

We keep the numbers of these classes small to provide one-on-one attention to all participants. This workshop is geared for everybody - from beginners to professional plasterers.

Made right here in the United States, American Clay offers superior color, richness, texture and depth to traditional cement, lime, and acrylic plasters. Whether you're working towards an Austin Energy rated green home or a LEED registered project, or if you're just looking for a unique and beautiful element to warm your own living space, you'll find our introduction to American Clay as informative as it will be fun.
