The certified “Venetian Plaster on Wall” workshop in Dugopolje shows you how to transform plain walls into richly layered Venetian, terracotta or chalk‑effect surfaces using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®. Inspired by traditional Venetian plaster and Mediterranean walls, this finish adds depth, texture and a hand‑crafted feel to any interior.
You’ll learn how to:
build texture on the wall with Chalk Paint
create terracotta and chalk/lime‑wash looks with layered colours
blend two or more colours seamlessly for soft transitions
turn a wall into a unique painted canvas, with either matt or softly polished sheen.
Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® is low‑VOC, quick‑drying and highly versatile, making it a healthy, sustainable choice for restyling your home.
