1 DAY COURSE.
The day is spent concentrating entirely on technique and perfecting the finish. No time is wasted with preparation and we get straight down to mixing and applying plaster. To get the full benefit it is recommended that people have a basic understanding of plastering.
2 DAY COURSE.
On the two day course more time is available to learn about the tools, materials and processes. We will look at preparing surfaces and the specifics of mixing, and then we place the emphasis on practising applying plaster to walls. The skills involved in plastering are quite simple, but the more time spent on practice the better you will become. This course would benefit complete beginners who are interested in learning the basics of plastering.
