2-Day Venetian Plaster Masterclass Advanced Venetian Plaster Course For Professionals

Regular price £495.00

Please note, this course is held at: 

35 The Market Place, Falloden Way, London, NW11 6JT.

The Venetian Plastering Masterclass was developed for those who are familiar with the basic techniques of marble plastering and would like to improve their skills and take their business a step further. You will learn a variety of high-end finishes that are specified for more high-end, skill-intensive projects and need a greater degree of control and tacit knowledge than most finishes currently on the market.

This Venetian plaster Masterclass is led by our Master applicator trained in Italy, with many years and thousands of square meters of experience, who will answer all your questions and ensure you will leave with the skills to create stunning feature walls and ceilings!

All of our courses cover traditional and modern Italian and British marble plaster application methods and effects but concentrate on certain aspects – making sure that the finishes are not only beautiful but can meet the current market demand.

Is this course right for me?

We have designed this course with the time and experience of our applicators in mind. We know it can be difficult to get time off work in order to train. We also know that many applicators that already work with our products, may not need more than a crash course on this type of product. This may be due to a lot of experience with Plastering or Venetian plaster.

We highly recommend this Venetian Plastering Masterclass to those already familiar with basic techniques and trained in Marmorino, Stucco, and Travertino. This course is ideal for those looking to gain the skills and control needed to apply and develop more complex, bespoke finishes.

    • The next step, will be to head to the training centre, where we will begin to go through the different applications. Applying them on boards, discussing potential steps require to correct imperfections, as well as things to avoid before moving on to the following coats/finishes.

    • Did we mention that lunch is on us? We work with a lovely Italian Deli nearby where we always do our lunches. Positive reviews all around! Lunch time itself can vary, generally we will aim to go between 12-1pm.

    • Finally, we will provide you with a signed certificate of attendance, any goodies that were part of the course, then let you make your way! This will typically be around 3:00pm onwards. We try to make sure we answer any outstanding questions. This can sometimes lead the ending to be a little later.
