Greenovations, a catch-all home building and remodeling store specializing in all green, sustainable products and materials, will be hosting an American Clay demonstration by Lisa Teague of Lisa Teague Studios.

American Clay Earth Plasters are a natural, environmentally friendly way to finish any interior. Non-toxic and made in the USA, these plasters are an alternative to cement, acrylic and lime plasters, offering superior color, richness, texture and depth not found with other finishes.

Located in Bowl-O-Rama Plaza, Greenovations – which opened its doors in mid May – and its owner, Christopher Ring, are as green as it gets. A catch-all building and remodeling depot, Greenovations offers everything from super efficient wall radiators to insulation, floors to countertops, cabinets to wood stoves, paints and coatings to solar tubes, attic fans, plywood and tiles.

The best part? According to Ring, “every single one of Greenovations’ products are manufactured at the highest standards of sustainability.”

While the list of eco-friendly products offered at Greenovations is as long as it is impressive, each of them tells their own uniquely green story: countertops made of 100% recycled paper; Rais woodstoves from Denmark – widely considered the most efficient of their kind on the planet; recycled glass tiles manufactured using half the energy of standard tiles; and insulation made from 85 percent recycled denim and other cotton.

There’s even a butcher block made from wood salvaged from lakes and rivers in Maine – a sapling Ring claims dates to the days of Christopher Columbus.

Beyond the products themselves, Greenovations also offers kitchen remodeling and design services, working with select area architects and designers on a referral basis. Even the cabinetmakers Ring found in Dover place a heavy emphasis on Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified wood, one of the most lauded green hallmarks in the lumber trade.

Going forward, Ring hopes to offer a wide range of workshops and seminars designed to bring down to earth the still decidedly heady world of green construction, design, and remodeling. Ring, a former high school English teacher, is looking forward to making education a cornerstone of his store’s involvement in the community.

There will be limited workshop practice for participants. Call 603-319-8219 to sign up. Space is expected to disappear fast.
