Hello and welcome to our forum.
We import 15 different plasters from Italy and teach people all over the Country how to apply. All of our applicators are networked together. There is power in numbers!!!
Many of our applicators do faux finishing but some do not. So please try to keep your questions to just the plasters. We do many different techniques some of which people would call faux. The beauty of these plasters, you are limited only by your imagination, but with the durabilty faux cannot match. There are many artistic people here doing the plasters. Also Luca the rep from Safra in Italy will frequent this board. Luca is a wealth on knowledge with years of experience and I am convinced there is nothing he does not know.
So if you are a homeowner seeking advice or an Architect, Interior Designer or applicator I hope you will enjoy this board

Hi Doyle,

Thank you for your flattering comment but with so many chemists in the company it is frankly more a matter of relaying the questions to the right people within the group.
Keep up wit hteh good job. I hope to meet you again soon here in Verona!
Best Regards
Luca

Hi Luca. My name is Michael (Mike), its nice to make youre E-acquaintance . My father took Doyle's class and I took the class from my father. I am very impressed by the plaster and also excited about it. Thanks for visiting the board and please frequent it.

Doyle, just wanted to say hi, and thanks for the invitation to the board, this is a great format to exchange finishes and experiences, Great to read Luca's post, loved the Mantovano story, I think that real Historical accounts as to how these finishes came to be, gives the applicator some real insight to just how special these finishes are, and information to educate the client.
Many good things can come from this, Thanks again, and thank you Luca.

I agree as well, gives me some confidence thinking about even selling jobs. Thank you Luca.
