Furniture Faux Painting Class

The concept to this class is "old methods using modern materials". You won't leave class
a "master grainer" or "gilder", but will have the knowledge and skills to offer stunning
techniques for high-end or simple furniture, cabinets, fixtures, and other accessories.
Students paint the following techniques on wood samples.

Guatemala Green Marble: matched to an actual piece, ideal for inlays, tabletops, pedestals
Veined Carrarra Marble: will fit to almost any interior style and can be dramatic or subtle
Colonial Paste Painting over Raw Wood: from the middle ages & colonial times, "commoners"
would decorate their raw wood furniture with this technique using a paste and stain. Can also
be used on pre-coated wood in the proper base tone. It's addictive in nature!

Instructor's note: faux painting and decorating furniture, cabinets, mantles,
pedestals, railings, and other fine fixtures and objects has always been a large
part of my business. It's not only lucrative, but a lot of fun, I hope you can attend!
