Clay finishes

Clay finishes workshop

Workshop: Clay finishes

“Clay finishes” is a 5-day practical training that focuses on the final finishing of various substrates (plaster surfaces, plaster boards) with decorative clay plasters, clay finishing and gloss putties, and clay paints.

Decorative clay plasters are an elegant way to finish any full plastering system, but also are brilliant products to break into the field of mainstream finishing.

The workshop is suitable for people who have no previous experience with clay plaster as well as people who already have some experience and wish to receive further training.

Save the dates, more details to come!

Workshop topics

Workshop “Clay finishes” focuses mainly on application methods. In this 5-day practical workshop we will cover all the necessary basics of why, how, and where to use fine finish clay plaster, putties and paint. We will talk about different base surfaces, plaster systems, preparation works and tools, finishing materials and techniques, and maintenance.

We will work on specially prepared sample boards, stands and wall surfaces. Participants are free to take the results of their experimentations with the materials with them. Any materials necessary for further independent experimentation can be purchased at a discount price set for the participants of the workshops.

UKU Pure Earth supports the training with materials.
