We are offering a full introduction to lime plastering and a practical demonstration workshop with Mark Womersley, showing you how to recreate a section of mid-seventeenth-century ornate wall plaster. The workshop will use haired lime plaster gauged with Plaster of Paris onto a lathed background and demonstrate the application of hand-shaped stucco and the fixing of cast decorative elements. The half-day, which includes pastries and hot drinks on arrival and a light lunch before you go, will be held in the Crossley Gallery at Dean Clough between 9am and 12.30pm and will cost only £45 per person.
