Rose of Jericho

A huge joy to work with @RobertKwolek @ADAMarchitectur (who lead the architecture module) other @createstreets colleagues @RoseJericho @shepherdmg & James Armitage on the @CreateStreetsFN Summer School. And some of the feedback is humbling. Changing lives & improving places

We also added a craft day this year, with experts @RoseJericho showing us how to repoint one of Sherborne School's limestone walls with lime mortar, hopefully preserving a part of it from the scourge of concrete mortar. Concrete mortar was destroyed in the process!

Splashing and rubbing in a shelter coat lovingly supplied by @RoseJericho on the Devon and Dorsets memorial we made in 2013 now in Mampitts cemetry Shaftesbury …

The first recorded use of pistachio green as a colour name in English was in 1789. Pistachio is a pale clean mint-green produced using the yellow-green mineral earth epidote found in Piedmont on the French-Italian border.

Founded at the time of the ‘lime revival’, Rose of Jericho has been committed to the research, development and supply of authentic materials and specialist advice for the sympathetic decoration and repair of traditional and historic buildings for over 30 years.

We produce a wide range of ready to use pre-mixed lime putty bedding and pointing mortars, hair and fibre reinforced basecoat plasters, fine finish plasters and external renders, all made using our mature lime putty and a variety of aggregates.

Sheltercoats are thicker than limewash as the colour is achieved by the addition of very fine stone dust and are normally intended as a sacrificial coating to delay the deterioration of decaying stone. Sheltercoats are individually matched on a project-by-project basis.

Our Ivory is a warm cream-white matched to an example of 19th century American scrimshaw. Our Ivory is available in all 11 historical paint types, including our distempers, emulsions and eggshells.

Pozzolans are materials that are not themselves cementitious, but contain constituents that will combine with lime at ordinary temperatures in the presence of water to form stable insoluble hydraulic compounds. We stock a range of pozzolanic materials for addition to mortars.

Buttermilk: A warm soft pale cream-yellow with a hint of red produced using a natural yellow earth pigment. Buttermilk is just one of many neutral paint colours we offer, which continue to be our most popular colours.

We undertake consultancy work in many areas of building conservation, on projects ranging from private cottages to historic palaces. We offer a unique mortar analysis service with particular expertise in the analysis of historic and traditional materials.

Yellow is the colour of the sun, the oldest and most central symbol of divine power to ancient cultures. The sun has been worshipped by countless religions with numerous sun-gods wearing yellow as representations of it.
