PURPOSE
Learning the processing of Tierrafino FINISH clay plaster and DURO fine clay plaster by finishing an object and making your own sample plates. After attending the workshop, you will have sufficient information to further practice and to gain the necessary experience to carry out a project properly in the future. In this workshop we will not teach you how to plaster in full detail. If you are an applicator already, you will find that clay is easy to apply and so you will only need to learn how to carry out the different steps in the application process.
CONTENT
Theory
Clay has a specific composition. We will go through the natural process of expansion and contraction of clay plaster. We will take a tour of the company to view the many applications of clay and, provided there is sufficient time, we show more detail of applications at home and abroad.
Surfaces
The substrate for a layer of clay plaster is a crucial part of successfully applying clay plasters and stuccos. The substrate or surface has to comply with some specific requirements. We will outline what is needed and will be able to advise you what to do in specific situations.
Practice
Finishing an already prepared wall or object with clay. All steps of the processing are covered. You will make sample plates with Duro and / or Finish, using additives of your choice such as straw, pearl, other sands and pigments from our range.
