Léém Clay Finish applied on a sample

Léém Clay Plasters & Paint can be used as plaster for internal walls and ceilings. The technique of using raw earth as a plaster or paint is a widespread vernacular technique. In the Benelux, clay plaster mainly made of local “loam” was traditionally used as an internal finishing, while on the outside lime was used to make it more weatherproof. Léém Clay Plasters & Paint can be applied to most typical surfaces, not just those made of earthen building materials.

This workshop will introduce you to the world of Clay Plasters either as a basecoat or a topcoat and Clay Paint as a surface finishing. 
 


We do have a guidebook on the use of the Léém Clay plaster & Paint, it's available here. If you want to prepare yourself or can't make it to the workshop, it may be useful to read this carefully.
 

PROGRAM

Introduction
we offer you an insight in the approach of BC materials on how to transform excavated earth into the Léém Clay Plasters & Paint. Through a lecture, we let you travel through some projects where such materials have been applied.

Theoretical 
we will guide you through the properties, design guidelines and implementation guidelines. On what material can you apply? How to prepare the surface? How many layers do you need? We will demonstrate samples of the Léém Clay Plaster, Clay Finish & Clay Paint, and elaborate on their specific compositions and applications.

Practical
during a hands-on workshop you will be able to apply the Léém Clay Plaster, Finish & Paint. This allows you to try out all processing steps such as mixing, applying, sponging.
