Impera Italia is excited to offer a 3-day Venetian plastering and microcement course, held on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in Northern Ireland (Castlewellan). This course includes hands-on training with a variety of Italian plasters and paints on walls, corners, and large sample boards. Now featuring Microcement training, you will learn how to achieve a waterproof, polished concrete finish on walls, floors, and even worktops!
Our trademarked Venetian Plastering training system focuses on the properties of the materials and both traditional and modern application techniques. It is designed to prioritize the applicator's knowledge and skill, rather than any specific manufacturer's materials.
This course will not only emphasize the significance of various Venetian plaster base coats but also demonstrate their application. You will learn the differences between acrylic and lime-based polished plasters, as well as protectors and colour washes that enhance and safeguard the finishes.
Our courses cover both traditional and contemporary Italian and British marble plaster application methods and effects, with a focus on ensuring that the finishes are not only beautiful but also meet current market demands.

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 previous experience with other Microcements, or perhaps a lot of experience with Plastering or Venetian plaster.
The intention of this course is to cover all the steps of the complex applications within those three days.

We work around the clock to help applicators and end users achieve their decorating goals.
