Course Outline

What is Pargetting?

Pargetting is the forgotten art of sculpting walls with lime plaster. Once popular in Europe, this decorative craft transformed plain surfaces into angels, patterns, and stories carved directly into the walls themselves.

In this episode of Wood, Stone & Steel, we meet James Collier — a modern pargetter keeping this tradition alive. From bold reliefs to delicate detail, his plasterwork shows how timeless artistry can still shape our built environment today.

Step inside the forge of master blacksmith Bob Garlick in Buxton, Derbyshire.

In this segment from our Jack Badger series, Bob shows how he continues the age-old tradition of shaping iron by hand — from simple nails to ornate gates, and even a copper-and-steel rose.

Wood, Stone & Steel

We promote the use of more natural materials and artistry in the built environment. We believe the built environment should be warm, welcoming and remind us of our home in nature.

Therefore, we showcase structures primarily made with natural materials and the craftspeople and design professionals that bring them to life.
