<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi, <div><br></div><div>As Valentina said, you can order pre-made plaster from EcoClay or Embarro. I have not used their products personally, but they are probably fine.</div><div><br></div><div>Another option is to buy clay from a producer of Bricks or Roof Tiles and make your own plaster. If these are not available in Ibiza, you could also contact <a href="http://www.argilescolades.com/">Argiles Colades</a> in Girona. Maybe they can send you clay. They don't make pre-mixed plaster, but they have nice yellow, red, and grey clay and they are good people. I do not know if they speak english.</div><div><br></div><div>I have not worked in Ibiza yet, but I have worked in Mallorca (in the same island group), and there I have had no problem finding bales, clay (I made my own plaster) and lime. If transportation is less costly from Mallorca to Ibiza than from the Península to Ibiza (I don't know if this is so) I can find you information for purchase of materials there.</div><div><br></div><div>There is a Spanish arquitect who works with straw living in Mallorca; if you are interested in the contact info write to me offlist.</div><div><br></div><div>One warning: in Mallorca there is a bit of a language problem with the word "sand" ("arena" in Spanish). When working in Mallorca I asked for them to deliver me sand to the worksight, and I was brought Beach Sand (not good for strong plasters). When I asked the local builder who was doing the foundation about this he said: "You asked for sand" (he was laughing; I think he was testing me!). He told me that building sand (in Mallorca, and possibly Ibiza as well) was called "0" (cero o zero) in Mallorca. </div><div><br></div><div>This is NOT true for the rest of Spain. It is a local thing. But be sure when you order sand, to make sure it is from the quarry, not the beach!</div><div><br></div><div>take care,</div><div><div apple-content-edited="true"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Rikki Jennifer Nitzkin</div><div><br></div><div><a href="mailto:rikkinitzkin@gmail.com">rikkinitzkin@gmail.com</a></div><div><a href="http://www.rikkinitzkin.wordpress.com">www.rikkinitzkin.wordpress.com</a></div><div>0034 657 33 51 62</div><div>Aulás, Lleida</div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>“Cualquier cosa que puede ser pensada, puede también transformarse en realidad.” Albert Einstein<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br></div><br><div><div>On 07/01/2014, at 13:09, <a href="mailto:strawbale-request@amper.ped.muni.cz">strawbale-request@amper.ped.muni.cz</a> wrote:</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>Send Strawbale mailing list submissions to<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><a href="mailto:strawbale@amper.ped.muni.cz">strawbale@amper.ped.muni.cz</a><br><br>To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>http://amper.ped.muni.cz/mailman/listinfo/strawbale<br>or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>strawbale-request@amper.ped.muni.cz<br><br>You can reach the person managing the list at<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>strawbale-owner@amper.ped.muni.cz<br><br>When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br>than "Re: Contents of Strawbale digest..."<br><br><br>Today's Topics:<br><br> 1.

We would need to source the clays from Spain as they apparently do not have anything readily available in Ibiza. I was wondering if any of you Spainish clay friends would be interested to help out on such a project and if you would have any contacts where we could buy the clays from?<br><br>All interest welcome and appreciated.<br>Thanks<br><br>Best regards,<br>Paul Lynch / Manager<br><br>The Natural Building Company Oy <br>L&G Pajupuhdistamo Oy<br>Dalgatan 10, 10300 Karis<br><br>+358 44 2509663<br>paul@naturalbuilding.fi<br>Skype address - paul.g.lynch<br><br>www.naturalbuilding.fi<br>Face Book - The Natural Building Company<br>Y-tunnus 2254617-8<br><br>L&G Pajupuhdistamo Oy<br>www.pajupuhdistamo.fi<br>www.pilerensning.dk<br>Y-tunnus 2440153-8<br><br><br><br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>URL: <http://amper.ped.muni.cz/pipermail/strawbale/attachments/20140107/51342b97/attachment.html><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Strawbale mailing list<br>Strawbale@amper.ped.muni.cz<br>http://amper.ped.muni.cz/mailman/listinfo/strawbale<br><br><br>End of Strawbale Digest, Vol 94, Issue 2<br>****************************************<br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
