American Clay workshop in Denmark.

On the 22nd, 23nd and 24th of January I conducted the first American Clay workshop in Europe, more specifically in my home country Denmark. I have for a while been working on setting up my dear friends and colleagues in the field of working with natural materials Flemming and Karen Abrahamsson from the company Fornyet Energi, as the European distributor of American Clay. the enormous amount of foot work has panned out very well, and the workshop was a very positive experience for everybody. The participants were all people having experience with clay in some form, clay builders, clay plasterers and masons, this will ensure a high quality installation to properly show off the capacity of the product, and we will probably not have to wait long to see pictures, since the first customer booked an installation just from seeing the base coats during the first day of the workshop. The house in which we held the workshop is from 1919 and was added on to last year, it is still under construction, and we are looking forward to displaying pictures of the finished project.
Five people had allready signed up before we were done with the workshop, and I am very excited to conduct the next one, and continue to be part of reintroducing clay as a building material in Europe.
I am here also bringing you a photo of the first American Clay wall in Europe, the wall was an exterior wall, but now enclosed by glass functioning as a sun room. It was very bumpy and uneven, and that being part of the beauty of the old farm houses i kept just enough of that to make the wall "shine" when covered with two coats of Enjarre, and burnt just a little bit with a steel trowel.
