Clay. Sand. Straw. Locally available, easily processed & renewable. Natural.
Manipulated simply by hand these materials have formed the basis for human dwellings since the beginning of civilization. Reinterpreting historic techniques and resurrecting ancient practices, Evolve is helping make “natural building” new again.
Homemade earthen plasters can adorn a strawbale or light-clay straw wall. Cob and wattle and daub offer organic, whimsical shapes for interior walls, fences, benches and more. Adobe floors provide a leather-like appearance that stops all comers in their tracks, eyes lit with interest. Timber frames, stone plinths, dry-stacked stone walls, often sourced from your own property, are among the artistic touches we can apply with flair.
Beyond new construction, we are skilled applicators of both American Clay™ veneer clay finishes, popular with natural health clinics, restaurants and homeowners. Or delight in making your own fresh pizza and bread in an beehive-style bake oven, crafted by our artisans in your backyard!
There is no shortage of applications for placing skilled hands and natural materials together. What can you imagine?
