Polished Plaster: Hands-on experience, Value and Commerce

This book picks up where the numerous specialist books on the subject leave off:Instead of repeating the old chestnut of basic knowledge, theory and beliefs are placed in the context of the author's 40 years of practical application experience.Specialist insider industry expertise joins with the art and craft of mineral plaster.In-depth details from application technology and materials science set straight what greenwashing, superficially handled copy/paste ‘knowledge’ and our comfort zone have bent on the subject.Blending stories from the industry and a life spent intensively working as a craftsman with mineral plaster complement each other to create a sharp focus on the essentials.The very personal approach alternately provokes consternation and smiles.The writing is accompanied 1:1 by luscious photos of mineral surface creations that visually complete the text.Exclusive short specialist articles by Bess Frimodig, Oldřich Hozman, Cruz Iglesias and Christof Ziegert bring additional light on the subject from another angle.A book for all those who already work with clay and lime or would like to, for architects, interior designers, and all those potential customers who are dreaming about living space design and want clear advice and inspiration.
