Buon Fresco's
Academy of Wall Artistry is thrilled to announce an
entirely new course for an entirely new application
of Venetian Plaster.
INTRODUCING:
THE
VENETIAN PLASTER INTENSIVE -V
The BACKSPLASH CLASS
- First offering March 1, 2001 (VPI
Prerequisite)
You'll
not only be adding an entire new portfolio item,
you're adding a new member to your professional
team. Now in addition to architects,
designers, custom home builders, you can form an
alliance with Kitchen Designer Stores. This
finish is an ideal compliment to any new kitchen,
especially when the client is not prepared for the
higher prices of marble and ceramic backsplashes.
VP-V - Learn to create
Venetian Glass Tile - Waterproof - Beautiful - With
Mirror-like
Reflective Quality in any color of the Rainbow.
As the
Venetian Plaster Tile is easy to apply, and thus
priced less expensive than Ceramic Tile, the finish
will sell itself to budget minded clients.
(VP-I is
Pre-requisite to this class)
Add a whole new elegant element to your portfolio of
offerings to architects, designers and custom home
builders, effortlessly.

Marble, Fabric, Stone, Wood, Wallpaper and so on.
