-Natural mineral-based Venetian Plaster

|
Level of Instruction:
A more affordable one-day marmorino plaster workshop offers hands-on training, start to finish,
with this exceptional plaster from Texston. Four different samples will be made for a portfolio of decorative plasters to take
away.
Texston Marmorino™ creates a honed stone-like surface that is fairly matte and very hard. The visual texture comes from the grain of the plaster. It can be left rough or made very smooth depending on the application technique.
You will learn about the proper use of the ancient Northern Italian
plaster art form that effectively transforms any wall - interior
or exterior - into a modern work of art with paste compounds of
sand, marble powder and slaked lime. Walls can appear rugged and historical
or modern and contemporary using the techniques learned in this
class. Take advantage of our studio's extensive
training, knowledge and skill. In this one day hands-on workshop, you
will create your very own portfolio of samples.
Includes all materials and we pick up lunch.
The goal of this venetian plaster Marmorino™ class is not to force you into
a particular style, but to have you understand the working qualities
of Texston Marmorino™ plaster so that you can use these methods and develop your
own style. At Dundean Studios.

Those of you who have been to our studio know that we are neither
product-based nor a franchise studio. This class is an exception
with the plasters from Texston. Learning the names of all these
plasters is daunting enough without switching manufacturers. Beside
the fact that nobody else comes close to the variety, quality, choice
of beautiful colors or professional support that Texston offers.
Dean Sickler, who teaches the class, has the only Master Installer
and Instructor Certification from the manufacturer on the East Coast.
This is an intensive class in a variety of application techniques for five natural, lime-based plasters (TexSton), where you will learn to render top-selling venetian plaster effects. These finishes are not intuitive and in order to learn this craft properly you need instruction.
