Whether we are presenting at the Young Architects Festival or demonstrating lime plastering at a community workshop, we believe that sustainable architecture only grows when it is shared. If you want to understand why we prioritize local earth and gender-inclusive construction, our workshops and talks offer a firsthand look at how we manage everything from site logistics to soil testing. We started Masons Ink with a firm belief that sustainable building should not be a niche, expensive pursuit. It should be common sense. That is why we spend as much time on site mixing mud as we do on stages at forums like COP27 or the Young Architects Festival. We want to show that traditional techniques like rammed earth, wattle and daub, and lime plastering are not just relics of the past but viable, low-carbon solutions for modern Indian homes. Our workshops, from the studio in Ashok Nagar to sites in Kochi, are designed to demystify these processes. We move past theoretical lectures to actual construction. We teach how to identify soil types, manage pneumatic rammers, and create Moroccan Tadelakt or Rajasthani Thappi finishes. We have trained countless students and architects, but our primary focus remains empowering women in construction. We refuse to bring in external contractors for our projects. Instead, we train local labor, ensuring that sustainable knowledge stays within the community. When we talk about our voice, we mean more than just advocacy. We mean the tangible skill building that happens every day on our sites. We invite you to join our workshops to see for yourself how we balance modern needs with vernacular wisdom. ## About Masons Ink Namaskara! We are Rosie and Sridevi, the founders of Masons Ink. We believe a house should breathe and that the people who build it are the soul of the project. We spend our days getting our hands dirty with our team, teaching sustainable construction, and proving that the best way to build is with heart and earth.
