5 Star Finishes™ – Decorative Plaster Masterclass
Join us April 23–25 for an exclusive 3-day decorative plaster training experience designed for beginners, professionals, and finishing specialists of all skill levels who want to learn or refine today’s most in-demand decorative plaster techniques.
During this hands-on workshop, participants will create 12–15 premium sample boards (2' × 2') using a curated range of our most sought-after finishes, including Venetian plaster, Liquid Metal, Clay plasters, and modern Concrete-look plasters. Participants will also collaborate on one large feature wall installation, gaining valuable experience working on a full-scale decorative application.
Over the course of three focused and immersive training days, we will cover the complete finishing process—from priming and base coats to texture development, burnishing, waxing, and high-end polishing techniques. Whether you are completely new to decorative plaster or an experienced applicator looking to expand your skillset, this course is designed to provide both the technical foundation and advanced insights needed to confidently apply these finishes in residential and commercial spaces.
The course will take place in our recently renovated training studio located upstairs in our warehouse in Surrey, BC. The open-concept space features high ceilings and 330 sq ft of dedicated workspace, designed specifically for large-scale demonstrations and hands-on learning.
