Traditional plaster help please...

[mintpark]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and, as you'll note not a plasterer, it would be great if someone out there could help me with this...
I'd like to know what you'd call a particular kind of plastered wall - the sort of smooth but uneven, wavy surface one might see in old cottages or barns, or on the outside of traditional mediterranean houses : is there a special name for this, or a particular type of plaster and technique to be used? I've attached a pic that sort of shows what I have in mind.
Many thanks for any ideas!!

Thanks, yes that's it! Could that 'look' be achieved with 'normal' plaster at all?

Yes, you can do a 'traditional' float & skim and use a sponge finish to achieve a similar look :RpS_thumbup:
