A practical course covering the mixing and application of lime plaster to lath, masonry, and modern substrates, including pricking up and base coats, float coats and setting coats. You will also get a brief introduction to running a cornice in-situ. 

This course is suitable for people with practical plastering skills. Experienced plasterers used to working in gypsum will particularly benefit from the course. We also welcome anyone interested in learning about plain lime plastering for their home or old building(s) under their care.

Tutors Sean Wheatley and Michal Wolf are both Master Craftsmen of the Worshipful Company of Plaisterers, with many years of experience in traditional plastering techniques.
