On Sunday the 11th of April we will be hosting 2 workshops:
Tadelakt Beginners Tile – 9 AM - 12PM
or
Tadelakt Beginners Ball – 1PM - 4PM
PRICE: $50 per person for a 3hr session – $90 for both.
Booking is at the festival, on the Saturday all day.
We are returning to the Off Grid Living Festival and we couldn’t be happier!
We will be sharing our knowledge on the amazing technique of naturally waterproofing any surface, by using the Moroccan plaster technique of Tadelakt, achieved by burnishing lime plaster with a precious stone, and adding olive oil soap. It is a labor of love, and although it takes time and patience, gives an unmatched finish in both appearance and usability in wet areas of the natural home.
Perfect for baths, showers, splash-backs, or any area or object you would like to make impervious to water.
We will be offering 2 separate workshop slots, exploring two different application forms:
Class 1: Tadelakt Beginners Tile – 9 AM – 12PM
Class 2: Tadelakt Beginners Ball – 1PM – 4PM
The tile is an easier to master, flat application over conventional cement sheeting, ideal for those wanting to work within Australian Standards of conventional waterproofing in wet areas, or just beginning on your journey with Tadelakt.
The second ball technique is slightly more challenging, but still very achievable for the beginner. It is great for those excited to try more free-form shapes and curves with their Tadelakt Applications.
You will be able to mix in your own desired oxides to achieve a wide range of different colours.
PRICE: $50 per person for a 3hr session – $90 for both.
The classes will run for 3 hours each, with a 1h break in between, and all materials and safety gear is provided.
You will leave the class with your own Tadelakt Cob Ball or Tile, and the knowledge of how to mix and apply the technique.
Age: Recommend ages 15+, as this technique requires patience and dedication to achieve a great result.
The full 3hrs are needed to properly achieve a high finish quality.
