Concrete Oxidation & Liquid Metal Venetian Plaster Classes Near Me
This 4-day course is for those who have already completed our intro course and are familiar with Novacolor products. These individuals may want to learn all about these specific finishes:
- Concrete
- Oxidation
- Liquid metal
For finishes such as concrete, this is about having something that looks like traditional concrete. This is accomplished by adding detail, colour, and shading. With oxidation, we learn how this can improve and change over time, but also how to apply the finish in a way that really feels like real rust. For liquid metal, after the application, it’s about the polish, ensuring the detail has an impact within any larger wall or space.
These are excellent products for urban designs that are usually found in restaurants and bars, where the surfaces must look good yet be durable and long-lasting.
What You Will Learn
The Theory
- You’ll learn the theory behind how to make these finishes look authentic for any situation
- You’ll learn where these finishes have the best effect and the best places to use them
The Practical

You’ll work on your own sample boards, with a high focus on detail

With metallics, it’s essential to learn how large a range of Novacolor finishes there are. Our class explores the different products and various techniques to get the results you’re after. This type of technique makes any installation truly bespoke and allows for a high-impact finish.
Metallics can be used on their own as a finish or as a colour wash, which works well over textured Marmorino.
