A couple of weeks ago Ruth Thompson from Sylvan Skills created a video demonstrating the wattle and daub technique used to make many Medieval buildings. In this follow up video Ruth answers your questions in conversation with our research and documentation assistant Alice. | Hull Museums

Here we can see the progress we are making on our wattle and daub walls. Wattle and daub is an ancient technique that uses some sort of flexible framework to attach a clayey soil mixture to. We are heavily influenced by the traditional framing and wall system that the Japanese have been using for centuries. We have adapted the traditional Japanese system to suit our needs and conditions here in Costa Rica. Here you can see the treated bamboo wattle with the first coat of daub and the level coat.
