Dining room from Lansdowne House
Designed by Robert Adam, 1728-1792
Plaster ceiling by Joseph Rose, 1746-1799
Woodwork carved by John Gilbert
Plaster ornament on plaster walls and ceiling, mahogany doors, marble
fireplace, oak floor Lansdowne House, designed by Robert Adam and situated at the southwest corner of Berkeley Square, London, was begun for Prime Minister John Stuart, third Earl of Bute, who sold it, unfinished, about 1765 to William Petty-Fitzmaurice (1737-1805), Earl of Shelburne, later first Marquess of Lansdowne and a leading Whig statesman of the period. The house was completed from Adam's designs for Lord Shelburne in 1768 and was a meeting
place for Whig social and political circles in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The central block of the house still stands, at the corner of Fitzmaurice Place and Lansdowne Row, and was converted into a club in 1930, when the two wings were demolished. The dining rom, or "Eating-room," as Adam labeled it in the engraving for his Works (1773), was in the south wing (to the left of the photograph) and was bought by the Museum in 1931. Owing to exigencies of space, the long walls of the room had to be reversed when it was installed here.
In August 1766 Adam submitted his bill for the design of the ceiling, which
was carried out in plaster by Joseph Rose. The carving for the wooden
doors, and door frames, shutters and window frames, columns, baseboard, and chair rail, executed by John Gilbert, was finished in December 1768. The marble chimneypiece was supplied the same year by the London firm of John
Devall & Co. The oak floor of the room is original. The niches originally held nine ancient marble statues acquired by Lord Shelburne in Italy from
the artist Gavin Hamilton, which were dispersed at the Lansdowne sale of
1930. Here they have been filled with plaster casts. The original
furniture, designed by Robert Adam and executed by John Linnell, no longer survives.
Rogers Fund, 1931
Sculpture made in 1999(?) while at New College. The assignment was to make a mold, but I wasn't happy with the limitations of regular molds, so I heat-shrunk a heavy trash bag around a piggybank. This is the only surviving of three; the others had fruits in them, which rotted and evolved over time, but also attracted gnats.
The kitchen sans its plaster. You can still see the lath and plaster keys for rooms on the opposite side of the walls.

plaster |ˈplastər| noun 1 a soft mixture of lime with sand or cement and water for spreading on walls, ceilings, or other structures to form a smooth hard surface when dried.
This was in the Victoria and Albert museum. Apparently in the 19th century the Victorians thought it was cool to make plaster casts of famous artwork, I think they were right.
Plaster sucks. Okay, here's my first lesson from this weekend's project: DO NOT use any sort of reciprocating saw on plaster walls (such as a jig saw). The teeth can just grab hold of the lathe and proceed to crack all of the plaster off of it.
Instead, use a hole saw (if you can buy one big enough) or just drill a starting hole and cut the hole out with a rotary bit (like a zip tool or a Dremel).
This is a 4 inch diameter hole (it's round, I just took the photo at an angle) to accept a lighting box. I'm putting a light in the basement stairwell to make it less treacherous.

This was the plastering crew for much of the interior lime/sand plaster, after we had completed a morning's work.

[First, I will begin by apologizing for the low-light photographs of this tutorial. The basement where I am currently using plaster does not offer great conditions for my camera. Still, I wanted to share my process and so the photos are what they are.]
I start with a mask modeled in plastaline. The mask is deeper than the finished product will become because I must have an even surface in order to fill the neoprene.
