Welcome to Éire Artisan Plasters
An Artisan With A Trowel
As an artisan plasterer, my passion is helping people create beautiful environments in which their lives can unfold. Whatever your aesthetic, quality craftsmanship can be both seen and felt. It’s in the nuanced colors and textures of natural materials. It’s in the way light plays across everyday surfaces. An artisan touch can make a space feel truly special.
My work inspires me to be a student of my materials. When we work together, I start by listening. My goal is to deeply understand the vision for the project and the specific mood you want to create. From there, I develop bespoke samples so you can touch and see the possibilities before we begin.
When a project calls for it, I engage a select group of fellow artisans who bring signature skills and proven craftsmanship to the table. Between myself and my artisan network, there’s nothing we can’t achieve.
In the bustle of daily life, we might not always consciously notice the finer details of our surroundings, but I believe those details are exactly what help us thrive. Whether you want to make a bold statement or simply infuse a room with subtle beauty, I’m here to help you bring that vision to life.

Brad King
Born in a 19th century British townhome and raised in Bermuda in a stone house with a limewashed roof before returning to the U.S. for school, Brad has perused a life-long fascination with traditional building systems and the natural finishes that beautify and protect them. This intellectual obsession, combined with his 15 years in Austin as a natural plaster artisan and residential contractor focused on sustainability and habitant health have led to an unrivaled technical understanding of clay and lime materials in combination with the ever-advancing building science that their durability and performance depend on. He relishes each opportunity his collaborations with Eire Plastering provide to apply the best natural finishes available in beautiful high-end spaces with one of the industry’s most accomplished artisans.
