Workshop: Clay plaster on a log wall
Woodhouse Estonia organizes an International Log Building Conference: Revitalizing Heritage.
The conference provides a great opportunity to exchange experiences and knowledge with professionals in log house construction, designing, and renovation. Participants also have the chance to enhance their expertise in log construction by taking part in practical workshops.
We are organizing special thematic workshop “Clay plaster on a log wall” as a side event. The workshop is suitable for people who have no previous experience with clay plaster as well as people who already have some experience and wish to receive further training. We welcome especially people from abroad who plan to visit the International Log Building Conference.
