Introduction to Lime Plasters
(Prerequisite: Introduction to Professional Decorative Finishes)

A 3 day class for the professional student that will reveal the intricacies of lime plaster applications. Lime plaster’s lure lies in its luminous nature and soft, mottled feel. Its depth and texture is impossible to replicate with any other medium. With actual ground limestone and marble dust in the lime putty, the surface literally becomes a layer of stone. It is mildew resistant, allergy free and a totally green product!

Areas covered include:

  • Proper substrate prep, tool usage
  • Mixing your own colors - smooth and textured plasters
  • Burnishing techniques to obtain the glass like finish
  • Wax applications to seal your plaster and add incredible depth to its color

Three day class $875
