Clothilde Bernair, Tadelakt Artist
Published 31 May 2011

Clothilde Bernair has always been fascinated by materials and vivid colours. When she was a child she painted on the walls, drew house plans, made models and played with mud in her garden. After discovering the red sands of Africa she decided to call her work Sable Rouge and now works as a decorative plasterer. Clothilde is actively involved in projects aimed at publicizing tadelakt [decorative and waterproof plaster originally from Marrakech, Morocco] and has opened the first tadelakt showroom in Belgium which encourages exchanges between artisans and tadelakt professionals. She organizes training courses and subcontracts for designers and architects while doing her own tadelakt projects and interior design work. Here is a report, in French, about her work.
