The Mud Man’s Marbles

One of our recent Venetian plastering class graduates is doing some really creative and impressive work with Stucco Italiano.

Grant Johnson, AKA Mud Man, tells us, “I thought I would send you a couple samples of something I am having fun with. I produce these small clay balls, and apply the marmorino and polish with small stones to get various effects. . . been able to get some great marbling effects.”
