The only comprehensive guide to natural plasters available.

Natural plaster finishes can be durable as well as beautiful with the proper mix, preparation and application. This new resource offers valuable advice for natural building design and construction techniques that work well in conjunction with natural finishes in any climate. A comprehensive guide to soil and material selection, tools, mixing and plastering techniques, The Natural Plaster Book helps demystify this age-old art, pointing out common mistakes and ways to avoid them. Well-illustrated with a lovely color photo section and numerous drawings, this useful guide includes an extensive resource guide to further information and suppliers.
