What is Venetian Plaster?
Venetian Plaster is a timeless decorative wall finish made from lime-based plaster and finely ground marble. Applied in thin layers and polished to a smooth or high-gloss sheen, it creates the elegant depth, movement, and texture seen in luxury interiors throughout Italy for centuries.
Modern Venetian Plaster can achieve a wide range of looks—from subtle matte stone to dramatic glossy marble effects—using specialized tools and refined hand-application techniques. Because of its durability, eco-friendly composition, and artisan aesthetic, Venetian Plaster has become a preferred finish for upscale residential, commercial, and hospitality projects.

Absolutely amazing — I love it!
Tom's course is extremely informative and very well organized. Tom explains everything clearly, and I learned so much about finishes. I now use these techniques regularly for my customers — I'm so glad I took the course!
Life-changing results!
I used to hate the drywall and construction work I was doing. When I discovered this craft, I was immediately drawn to it. The colors and textures looked amazing, and I wanted to learn how to create them. In just eight weeks, I completed five installs in my area, totaling around $22,000 in work. I am now motivated by my work and extremely happy — it’s a fantastic feeling!
Creative and rewarding!
I have such a creative side and couldn’t resist learning all these finishes after seeing them advertised on social media. I’ve really enjoyed the process — so much that I’ve turned it into a business. After just two clients, the courses have already paid for themselves! I’m super happy and excited for the future!
