Learn · Share · Collaborate

Luxtuno is not a "hire me" trades website. It's a place to learn Venetian plaster and surface design, share your progress and connect with other people who love this craft.

Watch short lessons, practice at your own pace, then use the student chatroom and profiles to get feedback, ideas and collaboration opportunities.

Surface Design Academy & Community

What You Learn Inside Luxtuno

The platform is built around clear, simple lessons plus a community that keeps you motivated. We start at the basics and move into more advanced finishes and business topics over time.

  • Preparing different substrates correctly so plasters last.
  • Choosing the right primer, grain size and tools.
  • Layering, burnishing and waxing for different effects.
  • Planning colours and movement for feature walls and ceilings.
  • Basics of quoting small jobs and talking to clients (without overpromising).

New modules can be added as the community grows – microcement, more stone effects, or even deeper business content if students want it.

The goal is simple: help you build real skill and confidence so you can use these finishes in your own projects or work.

Built as a Community, Not Just a Course

Luxtuno is designed to connect people. Whether you're a DIY learner, a tradie or a designer, you can meet others who care about the same craft.

  • Student chatroom to ask questions, share photos and get feedback.
  • Private messaging between members when collaboration makes sense.
  • Profile pages that show your skills, city and example work.
  • Simple follow / unfollow system so you can build your own network.
  • Room for future collab features, meetups and project matchmaking as Luxtuno grows.

Over time, the platform can support more structured collaboration features – things like project matching, shared moodboards, or advanced group sessions.

Right now, you already get a student chatroom, private messaging and profiles that make it easy to find people near your city or with similar goals.

Persian Gachbori – Decorative Plaster Inspiration

Gachbori is a traditional hand-carved lime-plaster technique used for medallions, borders and detailed relief work. It's part of Ali's background and may appear later as advanced modules or special workshops.

These examples show what becomes possible when modern Venetian plaster combines with traditional decorative carving.

For now, focus on mastering the core surface design skills. Advanced Gachbori can be added as the community grows.
