Design and application of traditional decorative plasters for architecture and interior design projects
Artisan Stucco & Ceramics, established in 2006 by Raquel Rodríguez, designs and applies custom made, highest quality lime stucco plasters. We are located in The Netherlands.
Our hydrated lime plasters are created by hand from the finest traditional materials and are applied using original methods that have been perfected through years of research and experience.
Our methods and materials find their origin in historical roman and renaissance texts and the results are in all aspects equal to those found in humanity's famous temples and palaces.
We have applied our plasters in a wide range of interior design and modern architecture projects, ecological building projects and the restoration of monuments.
Artisan Stucco lime plasters are hand crafted from the best materials nature has to offer, achieving highly sophisticated finishes with bright natural colours and a wide variety of textures.
Our plasters are always designed in close cooperation with our clients to perfectly match the unique individual needs of your project.
Originally designed for the decoration of palaces and temples, your walls will radiate an unmatched atmosphere of craftsmanship, quality, luxury and tranquillity.
Artisan Stucco hydrated lime plasters are designed to be customized to exactly fit the technical and visual needs of your project.
The highly adaptable layer system of the plaster makes it possible to combine various technical mortars to fit a wide range of old and modern construction systems and situations.
Over the past decades Raquel Rodrígues has specialized in the Renaissance technique of sgraffito, wall murals made out of lime plaster.
By overlaying multiple layers of multicoloured plaster and precisely carving while the mortar is still soft so as to reveal parts of the underlying layer, an image is formed. Once the plaster has dried, the result is a durable drawing made of lime stone.
These large scale wall decorations will catch the eye in any surrounding and can be made to your specifications or created by the artist.
Artisan Stucco has extensive knowledge and experience restoring original plasters in historical monuments.
We are experienced with large scale restoration projects and have successfully completed large interventions in famous human heritage buildings.
We only use materials of the highest quality that are perfectly compatible and respectful to the original materials used in the historical building in terms of adherence, breathability and elasticity.
