Brian F. Pegg has recently retired after a long career which took
in many aspects of the plastering craft. After a five-year
apprenticeship and winning various awards, including the gold medal
for the Final City & Guilds examination 1960, he taught at
Hammersmith and West London College, eventually becoming lecturer
in charge of plastering. Moving into industry to be Technical
Director and Head of Research and Development of an international
company, he gained experience in administration and costing, as
well as more knowledge of work with plastics. The final episode of
his career was in set and props production in the British film
industry.
W.D. Stagg was for many years lecturer in charge of plastering, and subsequently Head of the Department of Building Crafts at Hammersmith and West London College. He is a founder member of the Plasterers’ Craft Guild and a past chairman.
?It is a great guide for those looking to take their wet plastering
skill set a bit further. It provides an introduction to the
techniques of modern plastering and a comprehensive treatment of
present-day fibrous plasterwork.? ( Homebuilding & Renovating,
