NEW!!! DIMENSIONS TADELAKT PLASTER
Discover modern day methods of creating
beautiful rooms and fixtures with this ancient waterproof Moroccan
plaster. Tadelakt was admired and used by Romans in their famous Baths;
it graced walls in Pharaoh's palaces; and, can be found in good
condition today in medieval castles in France and Spain! It's famous
waterproof surface is made using only natural oils and sealers and can
last for generations with proper care.
Tadelakt
is an Arabic word meaning "massage" or "to caress" which relates to
the technique the applicator uses to form this ancient plaster onto
walls, sinks, showers, fountains, vases and furniture. There are no
sharp angles with Tadelakt - it has a very
organic look and feel, which is achieved only by meticulous hand
finishing and waxing. The organic composition of
Tadelakt plaster satisfies the current desire in the
marketplace for natural "green" products that are durable and
aesthetically appealing. Dimensions
Tadelakt Workshops include instruction in proper surface
preparation, application techniques, finishing, top coating and
sealing methods for waterproofing, and antiquing. Students will
produce Tadelakt on several surfaces including a sink, countertop,
and an urn with Sgraffito that they will take with them upon
completion of the workshop. The three-day Dimensions workshop
includes all course materials, supplies, Tadelakt kit including a
set of stone polishing tools and lunches.
