First rate intro to Venetian plaster
I attended the Venetian plaster course at PaintTech Academy in Preston and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The tutor Pete really know their craft not just technically, but also how to break it down so you can understand the process and build confidence as you go.
The course was very hands-on, which I think is the only way to properly learn Venetian. They guide you through each stage, explain the materials, tools, and techniques in detail, and you get plenty of practice time. What stood out to me was how approachable the instructors were – no question felt too small, and they were always willing to jump in and show you again until it clicked.
By the end, I felt I had a solid foundation in Venetian plastering and the confidence to take what I learned onto real jobs. The training environment was well set up, friendly, and professional.
I’d highly recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their plastering skills into decorative finishes. Great value, brilliant teaching, and a skillset that opens up new opportunities.
