Tadelakt is a custom lime-based stone plaster, used throughout homes and public buildings in Morocco since ancient times. It was even applied on the surface of interiors and exteriors of ancient Egyptian homes and temples, imported for the pools in Roman Baths and can be found in medieval castles of Spain and Italy. Tadelakt is very durable and the plaster can cover large areas without the need for expansion joints. It "breathes" naturally, and because of natural oils and waxes applied as a finish, water cannot penetrate Tadelakt. This plaster is often used to create sinks, tubs and showers in any shape or form. It can be used on floors, walls and ceilings providing a seamless organic look to homes and buildings. Color pigment is added to Tadelakt allowing brilliant hues that seem to glow from within. The texture can be "antiqued" and finished to look hundreds of years old. Tadelakt can be used to finish: Bathrooms Kitchens Fireplaces Spas Fountains Pools Indoor and outdoor living spaces Furniture Vases It is totally natural, and inhibits mold or mildew. Tadelakt Workshops are offered by Dimensions International to teach the proper application and coloring techniques. Students will produce a sink, a vase and a sample board during the three-day workshop. Tadelakt workshops are open to professionals artisan applicators.
