Rajasthani Lime Plaster Workshop 2022

Our workshops showcase traditional artisans and their distinct vernacular traditions. Natural building as it has been practiced for centuries with knowledge handed down over generations.
We offer a unique opportunity to learn ancient traditions from living masters, hands on in small groups.
Here is a glimpse of our recent Rajasthani Lime Plasters & Flooring workshop showcasing master artisan Dawood Muwal. #rajasthaniartisan #limeplaster #masterartisan #naturalbuildingworkshop #vernaculararchitecture #thappi #araish #indiarchitecture

Thanks for sharing and I like to see authentic people who practice ancient skills which were possibly used more widely in Asia.

This video is designed to give a glimpse at what our workshops are like. We have other videos that demonstrate the techniques. The main differences between Rajasthani Araish plaster & Chettinadu plaster are : Araish is a fine polished lime plaster applied over a Thappi plaster base.
Thappi plaster consists of surki (burnt brick powder) and slaked quick lime with herbak admixtures in the form of fermented water made from gur (unrefined sugar) and methi dhana (fenugreek seeds). Thappi is applied up to 3/4in thick to create a strong level surface. The plaster is beaten with a thappi (specialised wooden implement) in order to help adhesion to the wall, compress the plaster and prevent the formation of cracks. Before applying the final Araish final layer the Thappi is allowed to dry for a minimum of one month. Araish is made from a combination of white marble powder and slaked quicklime, which is combined and ground on a stone to a fine paste. It is then applied to a maximum thickness of 2-3mm and compressed with a small metal trowel. Then dusted with soap stone powder and burnished with a stone to achieve a high gloss reflective finish.
Chettinadu plaster is made from a combination of slaked shell lime and either sand or finely crushed quartz stone. The herbal admixtures used to impart waterproof properties and a glossy finish are, curd (yoghurt) and egg whites. Chettinadu plaster can have as many as 6 or 7 layers. Each with an incrementally finer grade of sieved quartz stone. Each of those layers is applied over the previous plaster layer whilst it is still wet. The final layer is burnished with a stone.
