Natural Building EARTH PLASTER workparties October 2017

Background: the Mini Moon is a 200 sq. ft. light-straw clay and cob building. It was started May 2016 and at this point the straw-clay walls are done but the round “cozy cob corner” is not yet built. In May-June 2017 we put the first coat of earthen plaster on the inside and outside straw-clay walls, and we installed the first layer of the earthen floor. In August/September we buit the cob wall. Now we will be working on the earthen plaster inside and outside the house, and some carpentry.

Saturday and Sunday, October 28 and 29: Earthen plastering
More info coming soon!

We will also work some weekday evenings; get in touch with Jenny to find out which!

The earth plaster we use is made of fresh horse manure! It's a fascinating and fun process to work with this materail. We have gloves for you to use, and I promise it is not as gross as you think!! It's actually quite fun (says the people who have been doing this with me over the summer!).

I'll have some snacks; please bring your own lunch and/or snacks to share.

Feedback and participation welcome! Please send bug reports to web@tryonfarm.org
