JUST PRESS PLAY: Historic Lime Plaster Class Pictures: Day One Historic Lime Plaster Workshop Pictures: Day Two An excerpt about limewash from U.S. HERITAGE GROUP: "Limewash is a traditional material that has been used for thousands of years. Unlike modern paints, which lay on the surface of the substrate, limewash instead acts like a stain by penetrating deep into the pores of the underlying material. This process creates a peel-free, breathable surface, and the limewash remains vapor permeable after it cures. It is a beautiful, traditional material that mellows while it gradually wears away, and over time it develops the weathered patina that characterizes the Old-World charm of Europe."
