Gold Hill Clay Plaster is a collaboration between James Henderson & Kyle Alexander.
James Henderson’s passion for earth building inspired him to enter the building trade to learn the game. Twenty four years on James has worked as a professional earth builder and plasterer in both the United States and Australia. Focusing on earth and straw buildings James has refined the craft of earth based rendering.
Kyle Alexander spent his childhood running around his mother's clay art studio in rural Wisconsin. A devotion to nature combined with his delve into several building trades guided him towards clay plaster. He easily became enchanted with clay as a wall system while building his straw bale home in Gold Hill, Oregon.
Kyle & James were introduced through connections in the natural building community.
During a work trip to Kyle’s home site James took notice of the clay all around as he toured the land & that’s when they discovered the rich bands of clay sub soil located just below the surface.
