MMMMMMMMMMMMMM

'I have studied many techniques for Venetian Plaster but must say The Buon Fresco method is by far superior.  The work is easier and the result is far more beautiful than any other method. 

There is simply none that can compare with the Buon Fresco technique.  It is the Rolls Royce of Venetian Plaster work.    Chris Adams, San Francisco CA

 "I took your COLOR and Venetian Plaster classes in 2010, and have been busy using my skills ever since!  The training from the COLOR class comes into use CONSTANTLY!  I even have interior designers who lean on me for advice."  Eric Albach, St. Louis MO

"I am doing a LOT of plaster. VPI is the BEST CLASS!  I've used my training CONSTANTLY since I took your classes 7 years ago!"  Christine Reeder, Ammon, ID
