This hands-on course will take place at our studio and workshop in East Sussex.
In this practical workshop, you’ll learn how to access, assess, process and use waste excavation materials to create natural plasters, mortars and un-fired bricks. We will explain the process through some of our recent projects, including the Gent waste brick and our Chalk/clay plasters for a house on the South Downs. We will also descibe how plant fibre can be added to these materials for particular features.
