Modern Minerals: Lime Plaster W&TH

Service Description

These are the lime plaster finishes most in demand right now, taught side by side so you can see how the materials relate to each other and where each one earns its place on a project. In Modern Minerals, Beth Schafer-Swinton works through five distinct looks, ranging from the silky, smooth character of Tadelakt to the earthy matte depth of Teodorico to the architectural weight of a concrete finish. The five finishes, all by Novacolor: Archi and Tadelakt VP Suede Marmorino KS Teodorico Concrete Each material is taught with real product, real substrate, and real application technique. You will leave with a working understanding of how to specify, apply, and sell each finish, plus samples ready for client presentations. What to bring: a plaster trowel and loader. You are welcome to bring other tools you would like to try for unique textures.
