Plaster is an enigma. With so many recipes, techniques, and applications- its variety of definitions and shrouded secrets have muddled millions.
Even with its ancient mysteries, there seems to be a spread in its contemporary popularity.
Possessed by Pinterest and Insta Images, newcomers franticly search the halls of GOOGLE, patching together some sense of structure to create three dimensional walls, organic cornices, abstract art, and relief sculptures.
What if the journey of discovery wasn’t so daunting? What if all the coveted information was encapsulated under one roof?
Wait no longer! We have amassed thousands of years of practice, technique, and art into one hub- THE PLASTER PORTAL.
Through our modern platform, the portal preserves these processes and offers people around the world the opportunity to learn directly from the masters - and we’re inviting YOU to be part of this paradigm shift. Click the link in our bio to become a member today!

Did you take a peek at our newsletter this morning? If not, you missed our JABELGA highlight. Looking to freshen up a space this spring? Our JABELGA Blend (hah-BEL-gah) brings an easy, natural shift that you can really feel - the moment it’s applied to the wall.

JABELGA is a brush applied medium you can feel good about bringing to your home. There are no toxic or allergenic additives – just a simple, natural material. Whether you’re going for something smooth or a bit more expressive, Jabelga has a way of transforming a room, while also maturing beautifully over time.
