Secil Cork Board
Secil Cork Board breathable insulation system from start to finish looks great and will keep everyone dry and cosy. Very nice work again Derek and thanks for the photos.
Claypaint
Nothing screams Halloween like the pumpkin spiced hue of Freckle, our favourite shade of orange.
Earthborn Claypaint
Earthborn Claypaint is the original fully breathable internal clay emulsion which we have been exclusively supplying in Ireland for almost 20 years. This zero-voc paint was ahead of its time when introduced and still remains the premium quality, rich in tone and texture, paint that so many of us love for lime plaster (or any plaster).
Kerry Event
Spot the Stoneware Studios sign hidden behind my chief hecklers. We had an enjoyable day last Saturday in Muckross, Killarney. ‘Great to field lots of questions from people repairing their old buildings in Kerry. Thanks to Victoria and Toddy for organising the event. Shout out to my fella exhibitors Ruairi Dennison, Gareth O’Callaghan and Peter Cox. Very nice to see you all again.
Training Day
We’d a lovely bunch of people in for some Lime training on Thursday. Thanks to all who attended. We’re looking forward already to the next one on the 20th.
Lime and Breathable paint
We do like the Big Houses, but these compact gatelodges have oodles of history and character too, and I’m sure the gatekeepers of old would have had no end of stories and secrets. Salterbridge (lime and breathable paint), Glendine (lime mortar) and Muckross (Lime and EcoCork insulating plaster)
Earthborn Claypaint
Not 100% sure where these two lovely Earthborn clay paint colours; ‘Seagull’ and ‘Donkey Ride’; got their names from but maybe they were dreaming of bygone trips to the front strand in Youghal. Enjoy the weekend.
Dublin Heritage Buildings Show
Lovely to spend the weekend chatting to lots of new and old friends at Dublin Heritage Building Show in Merrion Square Park. Not least my co-host and old pal, the ever-young Peter Kelly from Conservation Technology. Also shout out to Shane and the Nolans crew next door and all the BFLI people. It was really great to catch up. Special thanks to the Irish Georgian Society for inviting us each year. Excellent job again Emmeline.
Earthborn Claypaint
Earthborn Claypaint is nearing 20 years decorating and protecting old buildings in Ireland. This colour; Freckle (back in the day call Sand Orange); was one of our original four colours taking it’s tone from the natural clay ingredient. ‘Still looks great.’
Training at Pilmore
So nice to have a full house this morning at our Lime Rendering and Plastering Course. There’s a real appetite for learning out there at the moment. 3 more course on Decoration of Old Buildings, Pointing, and Insulating Old buildings before the end of the month so it’s all go in Pilmore.
National Gallery
Looking forward to working at the Dublin Heritage building show next week in Merrion Square. Hope to find the time to pop next door to check out our lime plaster and the masterful work by Paul Griffin Plastering (and maybe look at a painting or two).
Earthborn Claypaint
Some of our rich natural earth colours in Earthborn Claypaint. We like this blend.
