REINFORCE AND EXPAND YOUR SKILLSVenetian Plaster Advanced Course

▶︎ Marbling, additives and special Marmorino techniques

In this intermediate to advanced-level course, participants will refine their Venetian plaster application skills. The limited number of participants in the class allows for hands-on practice on large wall surfaces and columns, with close guidance by the teacher. Discussions will cover real work-site challenges and how to solve common mistakes. Training on vertical boards will focus on producing special effects with Marmorino by incorporating additives such as Salt&Pepper Sand, Mother of Pearl, and Terracotta Powder and employing alternative application methods. Participants will also learn the technique of Marbling, or the art of drawing marble veins on the lime-based Marmorino finish.
