Hemp Plaster Workshop

Tennessee Hemp Builders Society

Join the TN Hemp Builder's Society for a weekend workshop hosted at The Ridge in scenic Smithville, TN.

The Ridge 

Workshop attendees will have the opportunity to learn about how to finish a hempcrete structure with lime and clay plasters from experienced natural builder, Andy Sahn. We will cover sourcing material, mixing plaster, different additives, and multiple methods of application.Andy Sahn comes to this workshop with ten years of natural and ecological building experience. His training started at an off grid school for Cob (earth, sand, and straw) buildings, harvesting all the needed materials from the local area to build homes. Since then Andy has worked with a variety of different materials including straw bale, light straw clay (slip straw), rammed earth, earth bag, waddle and daub, and most recently hemp lime! Putting the "icing on the cake" has always been one of his favorite parts and he has collected a whole slew of recipes and techniques to share for plastering and sculpting on these walls. Please note the entire workshop will be hosted in an open-air environment. Social distancing will be enforced, and attendees will be asked to wear a mask when working within 6 feet of each other. Attendees will be required to sign a liability waiver.Workshop fee does not include food. Food and lodging options are available at theridgetn.com .
