Since the early 20th century, Gesso manufactures plaster ornaments, mouldings, columns...The current working methods are based on techniques tested for centuries.

The plaster mixed with water forms, after crystallization, gypsum. The solidity of this material is still improved by using vegetable reinforcement that is incorporated when plaster hardens.

One speaks then about staff. Oakum of sisal and burlap have been used for milleniums to reinforce staff, and yet no other current material replaces them with the same effectiveness. If certain techniques remain identical to those that the Egyptians used, the craft industry of staff, however, grew rich by modern techniques. Such as for example, for the making of the moulds.

The knowledge of the craft takes all its importance during restoration.
The experiment only allows the renovation of a damaged item (moulding, statuette, ceiling) by respecting the original inheritance. For that, a moulding (silicone or zinc profile) is cast out on a healthy part. Once the restored part is reinstalled, the restoration will be invisible.

The craft industry of staff makes the choice possible between new decoration and restoration.
