The Course

An introduction to the use of lime plasters and lime mortars for homeowners and professionals working with historic buildings. 

The focus will be on the use of lime as an interior and exterior damp management system, the repair of damaged brickwork and decorative finishes. We will view samples of lime at the Museum, followed by a practical demonstration. Participants can enjoy the hands on experience of lime plaster.
