or through the internet, you can use any venetian plaster per our instructions
when you leave!
You will leave this class with
seven finished 14" x 22" venetian plaster boards and be armed with the
proper knowledge to carry out further venetian plaster projects! You
can use venetian plaster on columns, ceilings, walls, & almost any
other given surface.
Special
venetian plaster note from our instructor, Brian Bullard: "Why is it "real"?
Most people have been taught or tried venetian plaster one way: thick,
when it is actually venetian plaster is designed to be applied thinly.
There are several "real" application methods to venetian plaster and you
will learn them all in my venetian plaster class. You'll also find that
venetian plaster is not labor intensive, if it is, then you're doing it
wrong!".
