HELLO!

Hello, my name is Bill.
 

Are you a beginner, professional painter, drywall finisher, plasterer or an aspiring artist that would like to take your skills to the next level?

​

Would you like to make an additional income creating elegant Venetian Plaster finishes for your future clients?

​

My job is to take you to the next level and teach you several different techniques working with the tools and materials imported from Italy creating unique finishes. My goal is to make sure you feel confident at the end of the Faux Painting & Venetian Plastering course.
 

I am the owner and the instructor, and I am a third-generation plasterer & painter that has been in business for over 23 years as a licensed contractor and working as an artesian for over the last 40 years.


I am your teacher and look forward to us being friends and having a great time!
Hope to see you soon!

~Bill

If you are not working with the decorative Italian Venetian Plaster products or the Faux Painting and hand finish textures than you are really missing out on making an additional income.

​

You are ahead of the game already with your experience you have and you could be offering your clients and future clients beautiful finishes and making even more money on your jobs creating beautiful decorative finishes.

​

There are several different types of materials you may have never heard about or seen before that we will be working with that are simply beautiful and a lot of fun to work with.

Venetian Plaster Training Expectations

WHAT TO EXPECT

On the fence about if this is right for you? Keep reading to learn more about what our classes are like and what you can expect to learn and exactly how beneficial it is to sign up for our classes.

You will not be working on heavy wood sample boards like most of the school’s use that are thick and would cost a lot of money to ship back home if you are traveling out of State.

​

The sample boards you will be working on in my class are very light 1/8 of an inch thick, 18 inches by 26 inches made out of PVC Foam board that are very expensive and is less expensive to ship back home because all of the samples are yours and they look very professional to show your friends, family and clients and you can put them all in a nice Artist briefcase that you can get at Michaels or Hobby Lobby that is easy to carry and they will last forever because they are well protected.

 

Some of the metallic finishes I will teach you look like mother of pearl and silk and velvet that you will learn very fast and I guarantee that you will make money right away when you get back home and some of the other venetian plaster finishes you will learn you just need to keep practicing to you feel confident to offer the finishes to your clients and you can practice on your own home.

​

Before the end of each day, we will go over the samples boards you made, and you will write all the steps down that you did on the back of your boards so you will not forget the steps.

​

Learning how to apply finishes on sample boards in a class is one thing and working on the actual walls and ceilings for the first time after your training is like night and day.

​

With my training I will explain in detail how to work on ceilings and walls so you will be prepared and feel confident.

Want PRIVATE, ONE-ON-ONE
Venetian Plastering Classes?

I get asked all the time how many days of the venetian plastering classes would I need to take?
 

All I can say is if you are trying to learn as much as you can for your own home or for your business that it would be best if you can take the 4 or 5 day class because there is a lot of information to go over and you may want to practice more on certain finishes in the class that we are going over so the extra days would allow you to do so.
 

Most of my students that attended the 3 day class really wished they could have taken the 4 day or 5 day course!

GROUP

NOTE: The classes will never be more than up to 5 people attending so this will allow me to give everyone the attention that they will need instead of attending a big group class.

If you have a group of 3 or more, you will receive a discount.

This private course is designed strictly for you! Decide what finishes you want to do and work at your own pace. You'll see finished samples displayed in my Showroom and can select from the different materials and colors I carry in my inventory.

​

I am 100% just focusing on you so you will have all my attention and you will learn a lot!

Most of my students I have become friends with over the years and they always send me photos of their work and they know I will help them whenever they have questions, and most Schools are not like that.

​

It is also very rewarding to me to see how they are doing after I helped them with training, and I see how they keep getting better and better.

And they all feel great that they know I will continue to help them.
