On Friday, February 25, 2011, the artisans in the Hayles and Howe workshop hosted the yearly shop tour/educational session for the graduate historic preservation class in the University of Maryland College Park School of Architecture. Professor Stephen Mallory and his students experienced an insider, hands-on look at the plastering trade as presented by workshop manager James Meade. Hayles and Howe is always pleased to have the opportunity to demonstrate the ancient trade of plastering, and the University of Maryland College Park students are wonderfully receptive participants.
