Michael Henry, who co-authored Essential Natural Plasters wrote an extensive article titled At Home with Natural Plasters that was published in the current issue of Mother Earth News. He delves into a description of traditional techniques and why they are often superior to more modern wall treatments.
The article features his own recipe for a versatile plaster that can add beauty to many different types of walls. Instructions for both mixing and applying the plaster are clearly written. Rather than quoting from his article, I encourage you to go to the source and read it there. To whet your appetite, I’ll copy some of the accompanying photos (all of which are by Michael) below.
These are beautiful and inspiring. Now, I am going to read the whole article. Thank you.
