On these days we will be mixing natural clay plaster and applying it to the internal walls of our straw bale building; on wednesday this will involve mixing a clay "slip" and applying it to the straw walls as a base coat; on thursday the job will be to mix a clay and sand mix and apply it as a second coat.

This is an opportunity to experience this fun eco-building technique in a hands-on way (literally!). All are welcome; please wear old clothes and wellies and expect to get muddy! Ecoworks can provide overalls, gloves, and (some) wellies. Also, bring lunch if staying all day - we will provide hot drinks and biscuits.

Ecoworks is situated on the Hungerhill Allotments site in St.Ann's, and is best reached off Ransom Road. There is a gated access to the site, so to arrange access, please ring 07973 116291.
