Group Tadelakt on The Family Farm

My little sister is currently working at The Family Farm in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand and she sent me some photos of the recent tadelakt art installation which takes pride of place in their new eco lodge. I love these pictures because of the group effort; adults and children from around the world coming together for an act of eco building. Tadelakt is not the most accessible form of plastering, it takes skill and patience and practice and yet these children can say they were involved in the creation of this beautiful art across a chimney breast which will last years, continuing to be beautiful and give them pride and pleasure.
