WHAT IS VENETIAN PLASTER: Also known as “stucco Veneziano”, Venetian plaster is a wall and ceiling finish consisting of plaster mixed with marble dust, which is then applied with a spatula or trowel in thin, multiple layers. When burnished, Venetian plaster creates a smooth surface with the illusion of depth and texture. When left un-burnished it has a rougher, stone-like and matte finish. You, the artist, have the option to add tint or color to this plaster using natural or synthetic colorants. FOR A VARIETY OF PROJECTS: The possibilities for creating beautiful works of art with Venetian plaster are practically endless! Trowel it onto canvas to create gallery quality wall art that would usually cost thousands. Add depth and character to foyer walls or make a small powder room a bit more glamorous. You can even use this material on furniture! For this project we recommend first applying our One Step Paint and then thinning the plaster with water before applying it. STANDS THE TEST OF TIME: Developed in Ancient Greece, Venetian plaster has proven time and time again that, when applied correctly, it is a long lasting material you can rely on. It has a unique yet natural texture, depth, and movement that we usually only find in nature. This allows you to create an organic, natural look in your home that is not only of high quality but will also stand the test of time. BENEFITS OF VENETIAN PLASTER: Lime plaster, made with the highest quality ingredients, will age gracefully and serve as an excellent sound barrier and insulator. It will also reduce the amount of humidity in a room by absorbing moisture, which then evaporates off the surface over time. In addition to these many benefits, an added bonus is that it is easy to maintain and clean.
