Hi everybody,

A few years ago I plastered the walls of one room in the house. Had lots of fun and it was transformative, such a nice place now to hang out, read or do anything really.
I just plastered over the brick wall, first with a layer of red clay to smooth the spiky concrete finish that was there, then a final layer of brighter clay.

I made a DIY video (on the final layer only), part of my contribution to spread the use of more cob/clay/sustainable building.
I include also below a picture of the room before plastering.

Hope the technique I describe is mostly ok, any comments very welcome before I start with another room :)

Thank you !
Yannick

She's brilliant. She can see what can be and is not limited to what is. And she knows this tiny ad:
