Workshop Overview
Join Ty Hash of Mountain Ash Natural Building and Robyn Till, Tinwork's September artist-in-residence, for an overview of natural building systems, such as straw bale construction, cob building, light straw clay, and hempcrete.
This 1-hour free presentation will be followed by a 3 hour hands-on workshop, registration required, on clay-based plastering. Participants will collaboratively build a straw bale bench installed at Tinworks. We will mix clay plaster by hand (and foot) that is then applied to the surface of the bench, including low-relief design work. Bring clothes that can get dirty!

After finishing her BFA in Ceramics at Montana State University, she went on to complete a Post-Baccalaureate program in Artisanry with UMASS-Dartmouth. Both her utilitarian and sculptural bodies of work are a vehicle to investigate surface design, passage of time, and the intimacy of clay. Her visual lexicon draws from historical textiles and patterns seen in the natural world. She currently splits her time between making/teaching ceramics and working at the Public Library, whose mission is central to her way of thinking and existing.
