- knee pads

"The Claylin hands on training is indispensable to anyone planning to pour an earthen floor. During the workshop Sukita shares her discoveries and mistakes over the course of 10 years of experience. So, do yourself and your clients a favour and take this vital workshop. The price of the workshop will undoubtedly pay for itself, as you will complete the training knowing that you can pour a high quality, crack free earthen floor."
