Common method: 1:1:6 render onto the brickwork, and just the last 3 mm
is plaster. I'm sure there are other ways to do it too!

Excuse my dummies question... but what is render? Isn't that plaster?

no, its cement mortar, 1 part by volume cement, 1 part lime and 6
parts sand. But as youve seen, there are various ways to do it.
