Registrations OPEN!
This Program has been rescheduled to FEB 18-25 2023, due to lack of sufficient registrations for the month of December 2022.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN HANDS-ON?
This year we had a master’s thesis student and three interns working full-time to update Vanamu’s research database with the findings from more than 250 secondary research papers on lime plastering and the processing of lime.
We are excited to have this opportunity to share with our past 76 participants this year on plastering through an online session. Many of them had requested a longer duration format for this workshop so that they could dive deeper. Several of you also requested on-site practice of your plastering skills so that larger surfaces and site conditions can be better understood. Some of you have been seeking an opportunity to work under master artisans like Daoodji, Arasu, Ananth and Yogesh
