Plastering

A unique publication on our current market, providing detailed information about the field of plastering, which flourished most in the Czech lands in the 18th century. However, this remarkable artistic craft has survived to the present day, and its masters are now used in the restoration of monuments, interior decoration, as well as in the realization of works of art. The authors discuss in detail the historical and contemporary materials and technologies used. In the following chapters, the individual techniques are described in detail, illustrated with clear drawings and photographs of the working procedures. The book also deals with little-known special techniques, such as scagliola, artificial marbles, stucco, etc. The final chapter is devoted to surface treatments. The book is intended for a wide circle of those who come into contact with this technique in their work, especially conservation workers, students of art schools, architects and workers in the building professions.
