Brett commencing work on the final lime plaster layer on the north wall of the master bedroom. The wall top is the traditional starting point. The iPod has become a good friend and sanity saver to both of us.

As a decorative artisan concerned with improving indoor air quality, I would like to re-introduce you to the lovely attributes of lime and clay plaster wall finishes for homes and wineries.

Lime plaster surfaces have been around for thousands of years, and are perfectly suited for modern day wine cellars or other areas where moisture may be a concern, since lime plasters emit no VOC's and are mold, mildew and fungal resistant.

Clay and lime plaster walls and ceilings actually help the modern cooling system, in creating a stable climate for the room, holding the temperature and humidity in balance. Lime-based plasters dry hard and continue to cure for months by absorbing carbon dioxide from the air, and reverting back to the original limestone state.

Lime plasters are beautiful when applied, but become even more beautiful with age. Lime plasters are the real thing - the same ingredients that you will find on centuries-old walls in Europe.

Protection: Lime plaster surfaces can protect your home, family and business from some of the most common enemies...mold, mildew and dust through its unique natural properties such as a naturally high pH and dust resistance.

Durability: Lime wall finishes last many, many years against cracking, rotting, moisture and fire. They are easy to maintain and save you time and money.

Green: Clay and lime plaster finishes are rare in that they combine beauty, durability and are considered "Green and Sustainable" by industry professionals.

Thank you for your time in reading this blog post. I hope this helps lend an understanding of the wonderful and unique characteristics of lime and clay plasters, and how they can improve indoor comfort and quality of living in any interior environment.

At long last, we had the third bedroom plastered today... Yippee, no more ugly Artex on the ceiling!

I really like that shot, I like the symmetry of it, and all the bright colours... ;-)

Brett putting the finishing touches to our lime plaster with a soft rounded plastic float and water spray, after a long day plastering this large and complicated wall. The detailing work around the tall, narrow windows was extremely fiddly and tiring, but we are happy with the finish. It's as good as two ordinary people working alone can make it.

Andrew McKay came all the way down from Quebec Province to help with this project. His plaster bag technique proved to be superior to the hawk and trowel method because it frees up both his hands and he can load up with about 50 lbs of mix on his belt. Andrew is a true innovator in alternative building methods and had much to share.

Snaps from a 6 day workshop on plastering a straw bale house with natural materials. Workshop took place in the Yalakom Valley in Statimc Territory (B.C.) and was taught by the Mud Girls.

Getting ready for the plastering!

During the plastering process the surface undergoes many transformations. There are stages where the surface will not look like the final product, DO NOT FRET! Since most finishes have exposed aggregates, the materials are troweled many times to compact the aggregate and tighten the matrix. The extra cement will come to the surface and will be washed away.

◦You will likely notice the crew moving around your pool quite rapidly once the plaster process has begun and that is because there is only so much time to work the material and make your pool look its best.

◦For this reason the crew may delay cleaning something up until after the plaster is set.

◦Don’t fret, the colored plaster is not like paint and can be cleaned off of most surfaces fairly easily.
