Learn the Buon Fresco Method of Venetian Plaster

If you don't know how to use Venetian Plaster correctly you may be hindering your own faux finishing business.  Are your faux finishing techniques the problem? For example, if you are sanding the plaster in order to get a mirror polish you're expending unnecessary energy, losing time and making an unnecessary mess that will deter clients.   Also if your plaster surface is full of blade marks - it just isn't as beautiful as it could be.

LEARN TECHNIQUE - NOT PRODUCT!  At The Academy you will learn how to apply Venetian Plaster as it was meant to be applied. Buon Fresco's Venetian Plaster technique is so unique our students travel from all over the world to study with us. Technique is what will set you apart.  Not a pot of plaster.  Anyone can buy  product.  At the Academy you will learn how to apply Venetian Plaster in a way that will dazzle the competition! 

SAVE DOLLARS!  Because The Academy is not a 'product focused Decorative Art School you will learn how to do a variety of extraordinary techniques using just one or two types of plaster! Think about it!  If the school you're considering boasts '100 different plasters', then THAT is what you'll need to BUY in order to support the samples you'll make there. All of the Venetian Plaster work shown on this web site was accomplished with just 3 different types of Venetian Plaster.  Learn technique first, then apply it to the Italian Plaster of your choice.  And you'll be pleased to learn that while our plasters are HIGH END - they are NOT high cost.

FAUX! Also at Academy take the opportunity to learn Buon Fresco's stunning decorative painting and faux finishing techniques that have won the attention of television, national magazines and even the movies!  To see some a selection of Buon Fresco finishes see Dreamworks 2003 film, 'Head of State' with Chris Rock.  You too can be getting the attention you deserve.  Don't let your business languish any longer while you compete only by price - Call right now, toll free - 1. 888. 637.3726 or email awaok@bfresco.com and register for the Summer 2008 courses!  Your success is our Banner!  C' est Bon!
