Venetian Plastering Courses

Venetian Plastering Courses

Alongside the wide range of basic building, maintenance and decorating courses on offer at the DIY School, we also provide a selection of specialist DIY courses to give you the extra skills you need to create unique and original work around your home and for your friends and family. One of the most popular of these courses is our Venetian Plastering course. Venetian Plaster is an ancient finish that dates back hundreds, if not thousands of years. It was much sought after in the past because of the versatile range of finishes that can be produced, as well as the durability of the plaster itself. Venetian Plaster is also known as polished plaster, as it can be finished with a high or low polish, as well as a matt or brushed effect, and this versatility makes it still popular today, especially in historic settings and restoration projects. The Venetian Plaster course at the DIY School will train you in all the essential skills and techniques of this ancient art, showing you how to apply this distinctive finish both indoors and out, across a range of surfaces. Over two days, the course will take you from priming to finishing, with the vast majority of your time spent hands-on, applying the products and learning as you do so. The DIY School Venetian Plastering course takes place over two days at our Stockport training centre, with tuition on Saturday and Sunday from 9:15 to 4:30. The course costs just £350 including VAT, and that price includes all course materials and the recycling of your waste. Venetian Plastering is currently enjoying a renaissance, so make sure you have the skills that will be in demand by signing up at the DIY School today.
