Ladies Day Pointing, Plastering & Prosecco Course
In celebration of International Women's Day, our recent Ladies' Pointing, Plastering, and Prosecco course at Womersley's was a fantastic success. We were delighted to bring together a brilliant group of women for a day of hands-on learning and fun.
Throughout the day, participants were guided through the fundamentals of working with lime-based materials. The course included practical demonstrations and hands-on sessions covering:
- Understanding different lime mortars, plasters, and renders
- Surface preparation essentials
- Mixing materials correctly
- Pointing techniques
- Applying mortar to joints
- Harling methods
- Basecoat and finishing coat application
- Insulating render and plaster techniques
- Proper curing methods
From the moment the ladies arrived, the energy was amazing. Many had never worked with lime mortar or plaster before, yet within minutes they were mixing, applying, smoothing, and laughing their way through the learning curve.
What made the day so empowering wasn't just the techniques—though everyone quickly became proficient at pointing and plastering—it was the atmosphere. It was wonderful to see a room full of women cheering each other on, swapping tips, and discovering their own capabilities.
No Ladies' Day would be complete without a glass of bubbly and some treats. Between sessions, everyone gathered for a spread of fresh sandwiches, pastries, cakes, and prosecco—because learning is always better with good food and even better company.
