Testimonials
Marmorino Venetian Plaster was provided with the following from some of our clients who have availed of our application and installation services as well as students who attended our classes, workshops and seminars down through the years. We sincerely thank you all for taking the time to provide your feedback.
”I am very excited to start this project. I must say, that no video, book or information on-line can compare to someone physically teaching the application of the lime based Marmorino Venetian plaster products and I thank my lucky stars that I had the sensibility to attend the seminar held recently.
Whatever I thought was completely different. The instructor at the class by Marmorino Venetian Plaster was very detailed and gave us all undivided attention. I asked lots of questions and he patiently answered every one of them. Also gave us invaluable application tips on that you have learned over the years. Coming from an artists eye I was very impressed with your sense of color and your ability to know exactly how the Marmorino Venetian plaster products will look when they are dry.
One can tell that you are very passionate and a perfectionist at the craft. Can't get better than that for an instructor.”

“Thanks so much for the very informative and enjoyable class held recently by Marmorino Venetian Plaster at their studio. I am glad I flew in from Virginia to attend. I realized that a novice such as I truly needs to witness an expert applying this specialized application technique before attempting it solo. I had already completed my kitchen using your Marmocarrara prior to the Marmorino Venetian plaster seminar.
Given the fact that I dabbled in the decorative painting field, I still was not able to get my finish to look like your original sample provided by Marmorino Venetian Plaster. Attending the workshop and class at their studio made me understand the contributing factors (i.e. my errors) involved in a much more rustic look of my kitchen walls. Fortunately, all was not lost however, since I was going for a less sophisticated look anyway.
Everyone that sees my kitchen loves the finish. I will forward pictures of it to you at a later date. I highly recommend this class and seminar by Marmorino Venetian Plaster to everyone interested in the art of lime based product application.
I continue to practice the principles taught to us in the class by Marmorino Venetian Plaster and my samples are getting better each time. There really is no substitute for experience.
I plan to tackle a guest bath as my next project. I think I will do Marmoclassic over Marmocarrara this time.”

“I just wanted to say thanks again for the wonderful seminar held recently at your New York studio and depot. It wasn't long after our sessions began that I realized our instructor is a master at this Marmorino Venetian Plaster art and craft. Your obvious knowledge and level of proficiency made me quickly realize I was in the right place to learn what I was seeking to learn how to apply the lime based Marmorino Venetian plaster products.
The money was well spent. I felt the classes by Marmorino Venetian Plaster were well organized so we could all make progress at an equal rate.
Individualized attention to each one of us was a nice advantage, too. It was great to have a personalized environment where we could ask questions about whenever we needed to. The "hands-on" lessons provided are worth their weight in gold!
One final comment: I'd like to make is that I personally appreciated your genuineness of character. You love what you do, you're good at it, and your Marmorino Venetian plaster classes are geared to teach, not make a fast buck! Thanks again.”

“Before I took this workshop and seminar by Marmorino Venetian Plaster the finish was a mysterious art form only to be found in ancient European Cathedrals and homes of the very wealthy.
The instructor's approach through learning by doing, in this hands-on training by Marmorino Venetian Plaster truly takes the mystery out of this age old application process. The product is to traditional wall paint, what marble and granite counter tops are to laminates and Corian. Once you have experienced it, there is no going back.
The mastery of the application technique is within the reach of anyone who takes the classes by Marmorino Venetian Plaster and has the motivation to practice. In the end, they will be rewarded with a truly unique craft which is only limited by ones imagination.”
