On Saturday, July 31st, 2010 the Kinark Outdoor Centre will be holding a Natural Plaster Workshop led by Sebastian Renel at the Sustainable Living Centre. Natural plaster walls have been used by humans for generations and have been improved even more in the 21st century. This method involves using sand, clay, water and cattail fluff in a mixture that can be smeared onto a surface to create a stunning earthen wall. We will also add plaster colouring and mica to make a beautiful glittering effect. The day will start at 10 am with an introduction and background of natural plaster technique. There will be lunch provided by KOC and opportunity to explore the Sustainable Living Centre. The workshop fee is $60 (no HST) and the funds will go toward the workshop and future ones being held at the Sustainable Living Centre. Get plastered!
