"American Clay Earth Plaster"

Anybody familiar? It's a 'green' product and we're thinking about having it applied to our family room walls. Just a little nervous about it and would love to hear reviews!

we sell American Clay at our store and have had several workshops as well as our showrooms walls covered in it. we just did our warehouse bathroom in it as well. We love this product and it is incredibly popular where we live. it is non toxic, natural earth, actually cleans the air, beautiful, creative, warm....
it definitely costs more but you don't need to prep sheetrock as well so that saves time. It is applied with a trowel and you can do it yourself (watch the video or take a workshop) or you can hire someone who does it. the place near you that sells it will probably know experienced people....

thanks, Talia! I have found someone who is experienced in the application, so we'll probably have him do it for us when the time comes - I have no time with a 5 month old in tow!

I'm happy to hear from someone who has used it before - makes me feel more confident in using it ourselves!!
