Atulya's In-Person Workshops for 2026

"Atulya’s courses were an absolute game changer! I have taken a number of natural building courses before and honestly thought I wasn’t a good plasterer and didn’t enjoy it. Atulya said exactly what I needed to get the technique and completely changed that for me. She is an incredibly empowering teacher and I love how her course eroded any hesitation I had about “not being ready enough” to dig in the backyard and make a good plaster. She is full of magic and this truly was one of the highlights of my year." Leo, particpant in Bulgaria.

Clay Paint Workshop at Orchard Barn

Learn how to create beautiful, natural paints from the clay beneath your feet. Most paints used in the decorating industry today are toxic, expensive and aren’t breathable. In this exclusive workshop at the very inspiring Orchard Barn in Suffolk, I will teach how to make and apply a variety of clay paints, milk paints, and pigments.

These earthy colours have both texture and warmth. You can even bring your own clay to try.
