About usaboutUs

Our mission is to be the Twin Cities' complete resource for authentic plasters and other trowel-on architectural coatings.  The PlasterCenter is comprised of the Minneapolis Institute of Fine Finishes, a studio that provides hands-on training classes, and a retail location that offers the best products for sale to contractors and home-owners alike.  Founded in 2004 in Golden Valley, MN, the PlasterCenter moved to the 3rd floor of the Hirshfield's Distribution Center in Minneapolis in 2007, across from International Market Square.
