Earthen Plastering

 

Join us for two days of the Village Building Convergence, as we complete the earthen plastering inside our beautiful old barn.

The 12th annual VBC runs from May 25-June 3, and TLC Farm will join in the activities on June  1 & 2 - we invite you to come get your hands dirty as we mix sand, clay and straw to become functional, beautiful earthen plaster.
We will be running a shuttle to TLC Farm from the VBC main venue, St. David's of Wales, 2800 SE Harrison.  The shuttle will leave at 9:45 on Friday and Saturday morning, and returning at 4:30 in the afternoon.  Lunch will be provided.
For more details about the entire VBC, visit http://vbc.cityrepair.org/.  Please contact brenna(a)tryonfarm.org with any questions about the TLC Farm building site.
