D-Korativ surfaces workshop in Lannach near Graz

Two days of decorative surfaces, from lime plaster to Echtmetall.

You work on your own board and build up one surface after another: lime powder and B-Ton as the base, then glazes, additives and metal. Ten places per date.

After the two days

Seven techniques you can offer afterwards.

You work hands-on from the start. At the end of the two days your own series of samples is in front of you. For every surface you know how it came about.

01

Applying lime plaster.

Naturale powder as a dry mortar on a lime marble base, plus Naturale fine, medium and coarse at grain thicknesses of 0.3 to 0.7 mm. Each grain size gives a different look in the same shade.

02

A concrete look without formwork.

B-Ton as a mineral dry mortar that you apply until the surface looks like cast concrete. You control consumption and layer thickness yourself.

03

Getting colour into the base.

Powder pigments colour Naturale powder in 32 shades; we supply Naturale fine to coarse ready tinted. You learn when to colour in the material and when on top.

04

Creating texture.

An artificial grass brush, sponge float and smoothing trowel make three different surfaces from the same compound. What matters is the moment at which you work the compound. More force makes no difference.

05

Dosing glazes and additives.

Twelve glaze shades from dark gold to dirty mud, plus D-Kortih 0. Mica such as Gold Piece 3 or Cats Grain and granite additives such as Pepper & Salt do the rest.

06

Echtmetall and Oxydmetall.

Bronze, copper, brass and steel: binder with real metal powder. With Metall Aktiv you drive the oxidation and get rust or patina when you need it.

07

Protecting the surface.

Impregnating soap on mineral surfaces such as Naturale or B-Ton, wax where the surface is meant to get a sheen.

A maximum of ten participants per date. That leaves enough time for personal guidance.

The schedule

Thursday the base, Friday the finishing.

Mineral surfaces need time between coats. That is why the first day is about the build-up and the second about everything that goes on top.

Day 1Thursday

Substrate, lime plaster, concrete

You assess the substrate and prime it. Then you apply Naturale and B-Ton, colour with powder pigments and create the first texture with brush, float and trowel.

    Day 2Friday

    Glaze, additive, metal, protection

    On the second day comes everything that gives the surface character: glazes and D-Kortih 0, mica and granite additives, Echtmetall and Oxydmetall with Metall Aktiv. Finally you protect the surface with impregnating soap and wax. You also learn the combinations: which glaze suits which base and which additive goes into which shade.

      Who trains you

      Philip Kerzenberger teaches you how to build decorative surfaces yourself.

      Two days at your own board with him beside you: from dry mortar to patina.

      Philip KerzenbergerMaster painter · Materea Austria, Lannach
      • Self-employed in the trade for twelve years
      • Applies the Materea systems in his own business
      • Workshops in Lannach near Graz

      Philip is a master painter and has worked in surface design for eight years. What he shows you, he does himself on site.

      He takes you through every step you will need on site later: priming the substrate, applying Naturale and B-Ton, colouring with powder pigments, creating texture with brush, float and trowel, dosing glazes and additives, letting Echtmetall oxidise and protecting the surface with impregnating soap or wax.

      You do every task yourself, and he stands beside you and corrects before a surface goes wrong. At the end of day 2 your own series of samples is in front of you and you know how each surface came about.

      Before you book

      What applicators want to know about the D-Korativ workshop.

      Organisational details are on the overview page. Here it is about the material.

      How many surfaces are created over the two days?

      Nine, all made by you yourself. At the end they stand next to each other and in your series you see what difference grain size, glaze and additive each make.

      Which systems do I work with?

      Naturale powder and Naturale fine, medium and coarse as lime marble plaster, B-Ton for the concrete look, powder pigments for colouring, glazes No. 1 to 12 and D-Kortih 0, mica and granite additives, Echtmetall and Oxydmetall, plus impregnating soap and wax.

      Which shades do I work in?

      Naturale powder comes in 32 Materea tints, plus 32 powder pigments for colouring. We supply Naturale fine, medium and coarse ready tinted. The twelve glazes range from light gold to star black.

      So far I have only painted and trowelled. Is that enough?

      Yes. You need practical skill but no experience with decorative techniques. That is exactly why you spend two days working at your own board instead of watching.

      Do I need my own tools?

      No. Trowels, sponge float and brushes are ready for you, as are protective equipment and material. Bring work clothes that can get pigment and glaze on them.

      What is the difference from the seamless surfaces workshop?

      D-Korativ is about design: mineral base surfaces, colour, texture, metal and patina. Seamless is the sealed, load-bearing surface with T-Razzino, including waterproofing and shower board. Anyone who offers both covers living space and wet areas. Go to the seamless surfaces workshop

      Will I receive confirmation of attendance?

      Yes. After the second day you receive a certificate of attendance for the two hands-on days.

      Can I order in the shop after the workshop?

      Yes. Your confirmed participation approves your customer account, and after that you order Naturale, glazes and additives directly in the shop. You can also order without the workshop; registering as a business is enough. Become an applicator
