About Us

As a manufacturer and supplier of lime putty based Venetian plaster and Marmorino we will be showing how to achieve fantastic finishes, including polished plaster and textured finishes. Our approach is to create a relaxed environment where you will enjoy learning, with ample opportunity for discussion in the breaks. Course numbers are limited to 7 people to ensure individual attention.

For each session there is a practical demonstration, then participants have a range of sample boards to have a go themselves, with guidance at hand. Sample boards can be taken home at the end of the course. All tools and materials are provided but please bring protective clothing, safety glasses and suitable gloves.

All materials and tools are available for purchase at the end of the course and participants are also entitled to a 10% discount on future purchases from our range of Venetian Plasters and Marmorino, and associated natural soaps, oils and waxes used for finishes.

There is a 10% discount off the Tadelakt course and the polished plaster course if booked together.
