Bringing the Church Walls Back to Life

Following three successful years of restoration, this year’s project focuses on the interior walls of the church. Some sections were previously covered with cement, which trapped moisture and caused saltpeter to appear. Guided by a specialized technical supervisor, you will participate in the traditional masonry process: removing old plaster, dehumidifying the walls, and applying traditional lime plaster. The project also includes repointing and lime jointing. You will work approximately 4 to 5 hours per day. No prior experience is required, but please bring work clothes that can get dirty. All safety equipment will be provided.
