Old Plaster Repair Using Modern Materials


  • Sanborn Mills Farm 7097 Sanborn Road Loudon, NH (map)

Offered in Partnership with Sanborn Mills Farm and the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance

In this hands-on workshop students will be given the basic skills required to identify and fix common minor problems that occur with old or damaged plasterwork, detachment from lathe or surface cracking, etc. While we will focus on using modern Gypsum based plasters, we will also look at the lime-based plasters that were used in original lathe and lime plaster work. While doing this we will also get to see how some of the tools and techniques of old are still used today.
