Join us for a weekend, hands-on workshop w/ orientation Friday Evening, March 20th.
Learn how to mix and apply a base coat of earthen plaster to interior walls on top of hempcrete, lath, and drywall. This is an educational fun workshop with lots of hands on practice and experience NOT a work grind. Come get your hands dirty and learn from the best how to finish your walls using almost no cost in materials other than the dirt beneath your feet.
