Athena Plastering Workshops

Really rate these courses. Have never done any plastering in my life and was unsure I would be any good. Jimmy teaches you everything you need to know and how to overcome obstacles. Lots of laughs had during the course and such a relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely keep in touch and would recommend these courses to anybody who genuinely wants to learn plastering

I recently completed a weeks course and thoroughly enjoyed it and I learnt so much from Jimmy. He is a great bloke and a top man who has over 30 years experience. He made me feel welcome as soon as I arrived. I would definitely recommend this course. Thanks for everything Jimmy!!

Completed a plastering workshop with Jimmy. Starting as a complete novice, I am now able to confidently plaster. From tool/workstation setup, through wall preparation, to plastering and smooth finish to a standard that I would now be happy to take on plastering jobs. Jimmy is a skilled plasterer, a great personality, and a great teacher.

My son has just completed a 4 day plastering course and loved it. He's never attempted anything like this before and wanted to learn a new skill, Jimmy made him very welcome from the off and made the course fun and engaging, so much so that he now wants to go into plastering as a career! His confidence and self esteem grew so much over the week and I was made more than welcome to go and see what they'd been doing at the end of a day.It's fantastic to see my son enjoying learning and being genuinely proud of what he's achieved.Can't recommend this course highly enough, thank you Jimmy you are a fantastic human being. The world needs more people like you!!

If you’re thinking about doing this course then think no more… do it!!! I’ve just spent the most amazing week with jimmy! A brilliant plasterer, an amazing guy and just the most positive person you could wish to meet! Thanks so much for all of your brilliant advice, you’ve given me so much confidence, not only with the trowel but going forward in my own life! Thanks a lot! Rob (the hat)

Seriously happy with the course, I did it back in November, and the first room I've done is 5x5m square it was a challenge to say the least but James teaches you everything you need to take on your own project and as long as you stick to what he says it'll turn out great. Will have saved myself £thousands on our renovation project! Cheers James!

Jimmy/James is honestly the nicest bloke i have met.When he is plastering (for showing you what to do), it all looks effortless! Making it blaintly obvious he has loads of years experience behind him.His teaching skills are incredible and i could not fault him.1st time ever doing this... :)

Completed a plastering workshop with Jim. Having never picked up a trowel before I am now able to confidently plaster. From setup, through to wall preparation, to plastering a smooth finish to a standard that I would now be happy with. Jim is a skilled plasterer a great personality, and a great teacher. And creates a very chilled atmosphere making this workshop very enjoyable and easy to learn the skills needed.

I had so much fun and learnt so much on this plastering course. Jim is really welcoming and approachable. Nothing is too much for him. He’s hands down one of the most fascinating people I’ve ever met. Was genuinely sad when the course came to an end!

Jim the Skim! Fantastic course with a wealth of experience and knowledge. Thank you!Great atmosphere and guides everyone through the plastering process coherently.
