Clay Plaster Finish Coat Workshop
Nov 22 -23
North Fork, Califoria
The workshop is being led by experienced clay builders Darles Eaton and Chris McClellan aka Uncle Mud. We’ll review how we’ve prepped and shaped our wall planes, window jams, and edges to make the finish coat as successful as possible. We’ll learn how to tape and mask for a clean and precisely executed finish plaster, how to plaster the field as efficiently and proficiently as possible, as well as how to tackle the trickier parts. We’ll also cover troubleshooting for blending seams and differing application styles. This coat is all about texture and continuity, so we’ll employ strategic planning and time management for each wall to enable the best possible results.
