Wattle & Daub Afternoon

The shortest workshop we run, and a good introduction to the tradition for anyone thinking about the full lime plastering day. Over three hours you will weave a small hazel wattle frame (about 400mm square), mix a traditional daub in the studio, and apply it to your frame. You take the finished panel home.

The wattle is cut from coppiced hazel on a neighbour’s small woodland. The daub mix is clay, straw, and (yes) a modest amount of the traditional dung — usually borrowed from a small farm down the road. It does not smell once dry. We can confirm.

This is genuinely a half-day commitment — most people fit it into a weekend visit to Lewes. Tea and cake provided mid-session.
