Level of Instruction:
A more affordable one-day cement plaster workshop offers hands-on training, start to finish,
with these exceptional cement and lime plasters from Texston. Four different samples (2 Terra Green™, 2 Tuscany Green™)will be made for a portfolio of Exterior and Interior plasters to take
away.
Texston Tuscany Green™) comes in powder form with a special formulation of slaked lime, cement and marble chips that allow it to be applied thick coats for a
Tuscany Green™ is the heaviest textured plaster we use and
it can be built up to as much as 3/4" at a time. It is ideal
for building up relief for imitation stone and block. This venetian
plaster is cement and slaked lime based so it is perfect for exterior applications.
It can be colored with iron oxide pigments so it will be light-fast
and since it breathes, there is never a problem with it developing
efflorescence if applied correctly.
A troweled two-coat application 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.
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.

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.
