Lorraine Taylor's expertise goes beyond that by adding multi-layer glazing, textures, embossing and metallic finishes, she mastered Venetian plaster along with various other plaster techniques.
Porcelain and pudding crackles and plaster relief effects with Pull-off, metallics, precious powder metals and waxes, embossing, used to create a dimensional pattern to our finishes are some of the techniques that she uses.
