Lime Stucco Modelling Training Day
Mark had an enjoyable day teaching a mixed group about lime stucco decorative details found in English plasterwork in the 16th and 17th centuries and cast plaster of Paris details from the early eighteenth century. The group prepared lime plastered lathed panels and decorated them with high relief stucco and cast decoration.
