FIRMOLUX TRAINING INSTITUTE FOR ITALIAN PLASTER
Learn Italian Plastering
Classes in Scenic Pennsylvania and Italy.

FirmoLux Italian Lime Plaster, in conjunction with Veneshe Venetian Plastering (www.veneshe.com), offers beginner to advanced Italian Plaster Applicator training classes in the art and trade of Italian Lime Plastering. Italy-trained master applicator Lori Blomstrom leads the hands-on training sessions, teaching students to become proficient using FirmoLux imported lime plasters, and gain mastery of techniques that can be applied to projects large and small--from simple home decorating to commercial and restoration projects.

Veneshe's training facility is located in scenic Bucks County, PA, an area known for its rolling hills and farmlands, yet conveniently located midway between Philadelphia and NYC, within an hour of Newark International airport. Full day sessions are punctuated at midday with a complimentary hearty and freshly prepared Italian lunch. Bed & Breakfast accommodations are available on-site at a special student rate.

Blomstrom brings her talent, humor, and years of training and experience to create a class exclusively for FirmoLux that is as much fun as it is educational and inspiring. Past classes have included painters, muralists, Italian plaster applicators, drywall contractors and homeowners, all of whom have left with a portfolio of samples and the confidence to undertake new projects, large and small. With hands-on training and experience, anyone can learn to master the basics or improve their skills.
