Hi guys - guess what? I'm actually training to be a plasterer and I'm a big fan of the virtues of lime plaster. Imagine my delight when I came across the info on the web that people are actually still doing real frescos. I wish I could be a part of it all but obviously, as I live in London, England, there are not many opportunities to do any kind of training, let alone fresco work. We don't have the right kind of climate for it either.
I think lime putty, if slaked correctly by the old methods, cannot be beaten. It is so practical for proper repairs to Victorian houses and also for fresco applications.

I'm working hard to complete my training and to be able to do my set coats (finish coats) really well so that one day I can do frescos.

Do you have any words of encouragement?
