In
this two day deep dive into clay plasters Atulya will teach you (hands
on) how you can use the clay in your land to create a beautiful,
natural, non-toxic and environmentally sound plaster, and how to apply
it to pretty much any wall.
She'll also show how in a couple of simple steps you can turn your
