Spring, 2009

Spring is here, and along with the warmer weather come thoughts of redecorating and updating our homes. Now is the perfect time to learn new techniques in the field of decorative painting; whether you want to spruce up the house or add to your portfolio of samples.

New Lower Prices !!!

We're lowering the price on our essential basic decorative painting class!

Starting in April, Walls 1 will be divided into two sessions.

9am-12pm - $75.00 - The morning session covers our five basic finishes in a demonstration-only format. Instruction on types of glazes, tape, brushes, and technique are presented. Detailed written directions are included for each decorative finish. For those creative individuals on a budget, who want to learn the essential information needed to create a professional finish and experiment for themselves with variations in color, style, and technique.

1pm-4pm - $75.00 - The afternoon session is a hands-on workshop covering the same techniques. Students will create their own samples of each finish to take home. All materials will be provided, as well as detailed information on color combinations and tips for a line free finish. A class for those who like to learn by doing; all students must attend the morning demonstration class.

The good news --- take both sessions for $150.00 ---
a savings of $25.00 off the regular price of our Walls 1 class!

The art of decorative painting has been around since the dawn of man. We all feel a need to enhance our surroundings and personalize our space. Whether you are a novice or professional in the field, Patina Studios offers top quality training in everything from wall glazing to hand painted furniture and murals.

The techniques and finishes we teach are based on old European methods using modern technological advances in materials. We start by giving you a basic understanding of the capabilities of paint and glaze in a logical, progressive manner. Each class is well planned and executed to encourage student growth in knowledge, skill, and self-confidence.
