14 days. 3,500m. One heritage.
Just wrapped a 14-day natural lime plaster workshop at Upper Mustang, Kamero's 1st high altitude project— the full three-coat system, natural pigments from the mountains, and a few generations of knowledge passed forward.
From soil sedimentation testing to pigment trials with Artist, from Himalayan goat-hair fibre experiments to 1,935 kg of hydrated lime carefully mixed and cured — this was 14 days of hands-on learning, cracked-and-repaired walls, and a whole lot of patience with the Kali Gandaki wind.
Lime plaster is a rare, high-value skill in Nepal. As of today, Upper Mustang has 12 new artisans who carry it.
Grateful to every hand that mixed, cured, and burnished with us.
