In The  'FINISHING VENETIAN PLASTER AS MARBLE' CLASS:

YOU WILL LEARN:

• How to lay down Venetian Plaster flawlessly - on either a wall or a column - so that it may be Marbled.  [The VPI Intensive Course is critical here, to achieving a mirror smooth plaster surface.]

• The techniques necessary to prepare and cover the curved surface of a round column [smooth column only, not fluted] with multiple coats of genuine Italian Plaster - which will then be ready for applications of specific marble styles.

• The use of the patent pending tool which makes the application of Venetian Plaster to a rounded surface, with relative ease and remarkably fast!

• How to 'illustrate' the prepared plaster with the colors, veins and deposit styles of 5 different specific marbles which run almost the whole spectrum of techniques for any marble you will encounter to paint'.

• The tools and techniques for burnishing the layers of tinted plaster so that the polished result  shines like marble.

• How to burnish for the highest shine without blade marks on the marble.

• What materials work best and why.

• Waxing hints and techniques.

• With columns commonly found today in most all new construction, see why this artistic offering is a crucial and exclusive addition to your professional portfolio.  You will see why The Buon Fresco Studio finishes columns in almost every client home that we find them in.

READ COMMENTS FROM GRADS:

• 'This class exceeded my already excited expectations!'

• 'I've taken several marbling classes, this was the first time I learned exactly how to do the veining'.

• 'Students receive from this class the techniques to produce a very unique and beautiful product'!

• 'I'd describe this class as a fabulous experience of technique, exploration and personal accomplishment!'

• 'The Columns Course was very inspiring and great fun!'

• 'The techniques for adding visual texture and veins are critical for making a realistic marble and give great potential for other applications.'

• 'Because of Victoria's excellent instruction, i think for the first time in any marbling class, I finally became one with several techniques.  I would definitely recommend the class, but then; I love the fine-art-level of classes at Buon Fresco's 'Academy'.
