What is 'Plastering'?

Plastering is the method of covering surfaces with plaster to achieve a uniform, smooth, regular, clear, decorative and durable surface. Plastering is a craftsmanship, an art that has been around for thousands of years. 

The ancient Egyptians burnt gypsum in open air fires to produce plaster. The Greeks and Romans used plaster for architecture and decorative sculpture. Plaster sculptures were found when excavating the ancient city of Pompeii. Plaster is found throughout middle eastern architecture. The Babylonians lived in houses with plaster walls. The Abuhav Synagogue Tzfat in Israel features extensive plaster work. Plaster is even found in Japanese architecture.
