We had a great group at our last Venetian Plastering 2, Stucco Italiano Certification class, August 18-20 (last week).

Can’t make it to our next Venetian Plastering 1 & 2 classes (this Saturday August 16 through Wednesday, August 20)? We just announced a new round of class dates!
This class is filling up fast and the deadline to sign up is August 31 (less than 3 weeks away!)
See full class calendar here. All classes located at Seattle Architectural Finishing Studio (except the trip to Italy, of course!).
Though it’s a bit early to predict the interior design trends for 2009, some are already saying that Asian culture will be a major influence.
Tamara and Alison were working on using Japanese character stencils in the last Textures & Metallics class, but unfortunately I didn’t get any pictures (though you can see plenty of shots of other great work from that class here).
Here’s one of Aaron’s samples that uses Marmorino Classic and an Asian influence:
Have you used an Eastern aesthetic in your Venetian plaster work? Send me your photos if you’d like to see them posted here.
“Stucco Italiano Intonachino sells itself !
project is almost done approx ….9,000 feet
kind of glows on the wall…I’m chalking it up to the double refraction from the lime crystals…it literally glows.
as usual pictures do not do wall finishes justice …I would have to set up a studio there to get good shots.
link here to 9 shots I took the other day.”
Actually here’s a couple of photos from one of Steve’s projects below and a link to his photo galleries here
Like Steve says, hard to do the finish justice, but I was up there a couple of weeks ago, and trust me, it’s beautiful. Nice house, too.
As those who have had the opportunity to work with true lime plasters know, The reflection of light on a lime plaster surface gives translucence which is vastly different to that from cement-based materials. -PD Marlow That is the unique nature of the calcium carbonate - it’s ability to refract and absorb light in such a complex manner.
