Earth Render - The Art of Clay Plaster, Render and Paints

Rendering or plastering is a craft as old as house building, the basic methods and concepts having changed little over time. This book offers a detailed look at the use of raw earth for painting and rendering walls in new as well as in existing buildings, focusing on sand-clay render, straw-clay render and clay paints. The skills needed to create and apply these natural finishes are easy to learn and the tools required are minimal, most people quickly picking up the skills as though something inside them has been rekindled from former lives!
