Wolfson Earthen Finishes’ original clay paints are all natural, non-toxic, wheat-based clay finishes. Decorative additives such as fibers, seeds, and sands inform finishing textures and create subtle dynamism as each ingredient catches and responds uniquely to lighting. Clay paints can be tinted with mineral pigments to achieve a range of earth tones.
