The Office of Workforce Development is pleased to offer Historic Plaster Rehabilitation and Repair, a non-credit course, this coming Spring 2023.
Are you a professional or student looking to expand your knowledge to cover historic sites, a DIY-er with an old home, or are you simply interested in history and hands-on learning? This course will provide you with an introduction to the basics of plaster restoration/repair and a working knowledge of basic flat and run plaster skills as they relate to the rehabilitation of historic buildings. Through hands-on labs, lectures, and field trips, you will learn about the repair and restoration of walls and ceilings with lime and gypsum plasters, with a focus on tool skills and application techniques, proper surface preparation and the business of plastering, as well as how to create knives and support systems for run plaster moldings and medallions. You will also be introduced to the concepts of assessment and structural investigation.
Note: Courses taught through the Office of Workforce Development are not limited to the campus community. If someone you know outside of HVCC would like to take this or any other course through our office, they may register online or contact our office.
