American Clay Earth Plaster Loma
Loma provides a surprising range of textures and colors for interior walls that make Loma a natural
choice for warmth and beauty. With low inherent energy used during the manufacturing process and
less waste in production and application, American Clay is committed to the environment and the
future. Clay naturally controls climate by regulating arid and humid air, absorbing and releasing
moisture in response to environmental changes. Warm to the touch in winter and surprisingly cool in
summer, Loma creates a wall surface that is inviting to the senses. Loma can be applied to almost any
wall surface including drywall, adobe, straw bale, masonry, and wood. Minimal preparation is
required. Standard plastering techniques are used for application and it is easy to install even with
minimal experience.
Prices: $81.95 for 50 lb. bucket; $68.95 for a 50lb bag
American Clay Earth Plaster Marittimo
The strongest of our three plasters, MARITTIMO™ draws its’ beauty and charm from the Mediterranean villages of Morocco and from
the playfulness and color of the Caribbean islands. Crushed shell aggregate gives it strength. In addition it is the shell that provides
the speckle that adds depth and subtle sheen to any interior environment. Somewhat reminiscent of the ancient shell terrazzo floors
of Italy and Egypt, MARITTIMO brings a soft patina that envelops a room with exquisite beauty. When reworked with a Lexan trowel,
MARITTIMO imparts a glow unequaled in the world of plaster.
Pigments for use with any of the Earth Plasters start at $16.50
Add-Mix
Add-Mix can be added to American Clay Earth Plaster as an acrylic component for added strength and durability. It is
recommended for high-traffic or commercial areas. To use, simply mix the Add-Mix at a ratio of up to 1:3 with water. (The ratio can be
as little as 1:1 to increase the acrylic content.) Then, use the mixture in place of the water for mixing into American Clay Earth Plaster.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is a
growing issue for human
health due to increases in
allergies and asthma
resulting from Sick Building
Syndrome. The EPA has listed
paint among its top five
environmental hazards due
to the hazardous solvents
used in the production of
most paints and the volatile
organic compounds (VOCs)
that are released when
applied. All of our paints are
zero VOC paints.
A soy based interior latex paint with zero VOCs. This paint has been tested against other latex paints

American Clay Earth Plaster Porcelina
The new American Clay Porcelina is a “Venetian,” super-smooth topcoat that cures to a satin—almost texture-
free surface. Prized by artisans for centuries, this smooth surface can resemble fine marble. Worked in sections
of several colors American Clay Porcelina will produce the mottled appearance of the Venetian plasters of
Mediterranean and Italian villas. Burnishing with fine sandpaper is not required to achieve the “honed
marble” appearance associated with Venetian finishes. Just smooth the Porcelina with a plastic trowel.
