Columns finished as Marble over Italian Plaster richly simulate marble in that they have a natural shine; are cold to the touch; and show a rich beauty that a painted finish cannot compare to.

In VPIII - The VENETIAN PLASTER AS MARBLE' CLASS - You will learn the following:

  • The use of the patent pending tool which makes plastering a rounded surface, quick, accurate and remarkably easy.

  • The techniques necessary to prepare and cover the curved surface of a round column [smooth column only, not fluted] with multiple coats of genuine Italian Plaster - which will then be ready for applications of specific marble styles.

  • How to 'illustrate the prepared plaster with the colors, veins and deposit styles of 4 different specific marbles'.

  • The tools and techniques for burnishing the layers of tinted plaster so that the polished result already shines like marble.

  • How to burnish for the highest shine without blade marks on the marble.

  • What materials work best and why.

  • Waxing hints and techniques.

  • With columns in most all new construction, why this artistic offering is a crucial and exclusive addition to your professional portfolio.

       

 

READ COMMENTS FROM GRADS:

This class is SUCH a deal!  I plan to

  • 'This class exceeded my already excited expectations!'

  • 'I've taken several marbling classes, this was the first time I learned exactly how to do the veining'.

  • 'Students receive from this class the techniques to produce a very unique and beautiful product'!

  • 'I'd describe this class as a fabulous experience of technique, exploration and personal accomplishment!'

  • 'The Columns Course was very inspiring and great fun!'

  • 'The techniques for adding visual texture and veins are critical for making a realistic marble and give great potential for other applications.'

  • 'Because of Victoria's excellent instruction, i think for the first time in any marbling class, I finally became one with several techniques.  I would definitely recommend the class, but then; I love the fine-art-level of classes at Buon Fresco's 'Academy'.
