Training & Courses
Rose of Jericho offers specialist training in the use and application of traditional materials, designed for professionals, homeowners, and anyone with an interest in historic buildings. Our sessions provide a practical and accessible introduction to working with breathable finishes and lime-based systems, grounded in both craft knowledge and conservation principles.
Training covers a range of core skills, including the application of limewash and distemper, the use of lime plasters and mortars, and a broader introduction to lime—its properties, behaviour, and appropriate use within traditional construction. Sessions are hands-on and tailored to suit different levels of experience, from complete beginners through to practitioners seeking to refine their technique.
Courses can be delivered at our Rose of Jericho premises or hosted at client sites, including private houses and project locations. This flexibility allows training to be contextual, often working directly with the materials and surfaces relevant to a specific building.
We offer both one-to-one tuition and group sessions, enabling a more personalised or collaborative learning experience depending on requirements. Whether supporting a live project or building foundational skills, our training equips participants with the confidence and understanding needed to work effectively with traditional materials.
By combining practical demonstration with clear explanation, Rose of Jericho provides training that bridges knowledge and application—ensuring that traditional techniques are both understood and properly executed.
