Average To Art and owner Alissa (Murnane) Ramsay call Huntsville, Alabama home, but their Italian plaster techniques are internationally recognized. In 2008, Alissa won an international award for an original plaster finish, as well as, trained with the Masters in Italy. There are many products on the market in local box stores that are “Venetian Plaster” but are difficult to work with and produce inferior results. For a few extra dollars, decorative finishers and DIYers can invest in quality products with beautiful results that will LAST.
Some of our favorite green products below:
Oikos’ Ottocento (shimmer)
Oikos’ Kreos (more of a coarse texture great for Linen techniques)
“Lime Butter” ("easy" yet authentic Venetian Plaster)
Instead of the usual wax to seal a Venetian Plaster, use Bees Wax.
All of the products above give superior results, have a fresh smell and are VOC free. For Alissa, her body would swell after working with products heavy in “toxins”. Once she switched to working only in Green products her body responded more positively. If you need assistance ordering green products or with a finish technique, please contact Alissa 256.658.0657
