THE WORKSHOP: This workshop will explore the use of local clay to construct housing. The first day will consist of guided visits to local sites where clay is extracted and processed, focusing on how it can be produced regeneratively in local landscapes. On the second day, participants will learn about the experimental use of, mixing and applying clay plaster. This includes the underpinning principles of working with clay: preparation, mixing and techniques to apply the plaster. We will be working with clay dug from the site, similar to that which can be found readily across the country. These workshops welcome people of all building abilities, beginners as well as experienced practitioners. All materials and equipment are provided.
