Earth has been used for thousands of years in construction and even today 50% of the world's population lives in houses made of this material. But contemporary builders neglect this material, even though it was used in many UNESCO World Heritage constructions, from the Great Wall of China to the Alhambra in Granada. In order to rediscover this beautiful and sensual ecological material, we are holding a 2-day earthen plasters initiation workshop.
During the earthen plasters initiation workshop, you will get the chance to discover the wonderful material that earth is through simple and fun experimentation, then put this into practice by creating earthen plasters on small surfaces. This will enable you to create your own natural earthen plasters for future projects.
I am an architect myself, having earned my degree in France at the École Nationale d’Architecture de Grenoble and I completed my master’s degree in construction architecture and culture by CRA-Terre research laboratory. I have also explored the use of natural materials (earth, wood, straw) in different workshops and construction projects with professional builders.
