Plastered furniture is increasingly popular in high-end, luxurious settings, where architects and designers seek such pieces to elevate the tactile and aesthetic quality of a space. These plastered items mimic the appearance of heavier materials like stone or concrete on lightweight, functional wooden furniture such as tables, drawers, and desks.

However, applying decorative lime-based plasters to furniture presents significant challenges. Wood’s natural tendency to expand and shrink with changes in weather can cause the plaster to crack. Additionally, the water of the plaster may warp the wooden surface, and its fragility around sharp corners can lead to damage.

To address these complexities, our course is led by a master craftsman who has dedicated the past ten years to developing the most effective methods for plaster application on furniture, ensuring durability even on furniture pieces for exteriors. Participants will learn how to avoid common pitfalls that can turn a potential masterpiece into an unsellable item.

This exclusive workshop provides comprehensive, in-depth training on applying lime and cement-based decorative plasters to furniture. It covers all aspects of the process, from preparing the substrate to applying the plaster and adding the final protective treatments. The course focuses on working with both standard and organic-shaped wooden pieces, accommodating various surface types, shapes, and sizes. Upon completion, the finished furniture pieces can be shipped to participants, allowing them to retain a physical testament to their newly acquired skills.
