Venetian Plaster Training Expectations
WHAT TO EXPECT
Unsure if this is the right fit for you? Continue reading to discover what our classes entail, what you can expect to learn, and the benefits of enrolling in them.
You won't be working with heavy wood sample boards like most Schools use, which are thick and expensive to ship back home if you're traveling out of state.
In my class, you'll work with lightweight sample boards made from PVC foam measuring 1/8 inch thick and 18 by 26 inches. These boards are professional-looking, easy to transport in an artist's briefcase from Michaels or Hobby Lobby, and durable enough to last a long time and making shipping back home more affordable.
​
I spend a lot more money purchasing these sample boards instead of wood because they look classier when showing clients your work.
I will teach you Contemporary, Old World, Mediterranean, Tuscan, Modern and Abstract finishes as well as metallic finishes that resemble mother of pearl and silk, which you can quickly learn to apply, ensuring you can start earning money as soon as you return home.
​
Other Venetian plaster finishes you will learn from me may require more practicing till you feel confident offering them to clients, and you can even practice on your own home. At the end of each day we will review the sample boards you've created, and you'll note all the steps on the back of the sample boards with the finishes you created so you can easily remember the process it took to complete.
While applying finishes on sample boards is a great start, working on actual walls and ceilings for the first time post-training is a completely different experience. With my detailed instruction, you'll be well-prepared.
