Explore and Learn the Foundations of Stucco Italiano’s Grassello, Marmorino, and Tadelakt Plaster
We are excited and honored to have skilled artisan Zeljko Babic and Chiara Davi from Stucco Italiano joining us to facilitate this workshop.
WORKSHOP DETAILS:
-Focus: Our Venetian Plaster Basic Class is a deep dive into understanding and perfecting the application cycle of Tadelakt and Marmorino. All the grain-sizes of Marmorino are addressed: from the extra-fine Grassello and Marmorino Fine to the more matte Marmorino Medium and Coarse. Participants will thoroughly practice every step of the process, from analyzing the substrate to selecting the appropriate primer, mastering the trowel application techniques, and finally, applying the most suitable protective treatment for every type of project. Practice will be on vertical boards and on small wall areas with inside and outside corner application, to ensure a comprehensive learning experience.
-Dates: November 11-14, 2024
-Times: 8am-4pm each day with a lunch break on site
-Location: New Orleans, LA
-Cost: $675/person
