+===== What are clay plasters? =====
 Clay or earth plasters are blends of unfired clays mixed with fine sand to provide a natural, breathable finish for internal walls. They have been used all over the world for thousands of years, and still exist in lots of traditional vernacular buildings. Clay plasters were often used in old buildings in the UK as a base coat, with a top coat of [lime](/lime/lime), as clay is cheaper than lime.
