The class focuses on lime-based textured finishes, offering students a comprehensive exploration of their possible decorative effects. These range from the urban look of concrete to the sophisticated textures of Intonachino, the classic style of Travertino, and the unique reliefs of versatile Lava Plaster—among others. Each session covers every phase of the application process, including substrate analysis, primer selection, trowel techniques, and choices of protective treatments – including metallic and pearlescent waxes. Practice is done on vertical boards.

This course in wall decorative finishes is suitable for all skill levels. Beginners will greatly benefit as the course starts with the fundamentals of applying lime-based plasters. Meanwhile, experienced artisans will find the course enriching due to the diverse array of techniques taught. Artisans familiar with our products, or those eager to explore our offerings, will particularly appreciate the detailed exploration of Stucco Italiano’s entire range of textured plasters, specifically focusing on our non-polished lime-based options.
