Don't forget all that post medieval painted plaster, there are some fantastic buildings in Britain absolutely full of the stuff crying out for conservators who understand it. There are, I belive, Heritage Crafts type apprentiships out there: working with decorative plaster in all it forms is one of those skills in short supply and high demand. It might be worth taking a sideways step in skills training. ( didn't Robert Adam get most of his ideas from Roman Painted Plaster work?)
