Artist: Sher Galeotti
Learn how to Venetian plaster using the
best "old world" European techniques and products
for finishing walls with Venetian plaster, such as Veneciano, Marmorino,
and Le Fleur. Get in on a movement that is sweeping the United
States. The Venetian plaster technique learned in this class can command premium prices.
 Old World Venetian plaster consists of
a lime-based plaster that is combined with at least 40 percent marble dust. The
results are stunning and virtually unlimited in design, depth, and sheen. You
may have seen this fascinating new design medium on television with the
decorating programs.
The unique design and techniques of Venetian Plaster can be
used virtually anywhere that plaster can be used. When sealed, it is durable
enough for kitchens, bathrooms, and high traffic areas. Many resort hotels and
casinos extensively use Venetian plaster on the
walls. The luxurious look and feel of silk are a signature of the opulence of
Venetian plaster.
 The premium plaster from Europe is aged
for a few months in open pits where it is free from contamination from any other
minerals. During this storage process, the plaster is allowed to hydrate. Marble
and other minerals are later added to
the plaster. Be the first in your area to offer Venetian plaster to your customers.
Or, be the first in your neighborhood to show off this exquisite new wall finish to your
friends and family.
The student practices each technique on
sheetrock until the technique is mastered. Then the final sample board that the
student takes home is created on a sturdy, lightweight board that is not poster
board or cardboard.
