About Us:
Our Teaching Philosophy
To teach the best classes…provide the latest information…offer sophisticated finishes…by the best instructors…providing detailed workbooks and consistent support in the most accommodating, warm and professional studio environment.
To give sound technical information…to encourage creativity…to inspire a well rounded decorative artist.
The Finishing School strives to provide the perfect learning experience. Classes are hands-on with the objective of each to give the student the knowledge and confidence to produce the most sophisticated finishes and complete the most beautiful decorative artwork in a successful, professional manner in the working environment.
Our many years of teaching experience afford us the flexibility and willingness to accommodate each student's individual needs.
- Each student leaves class with portfolio ready sample boards that demonstrate careful consideration of color, value and technique.
- Students are given the knowledge to transform a studio sample to a successful job site finish.
- A detailed notebook with copious amounts of technical, procedural, and creative information is a standard item for every class.
- Class size is limited to allow the individual student the attention they need.
- Each member of the faculty is a decorative painter currently maintaining their own contracting business.
Our classes are continually critiqued for content and quality. Student evaluations regularly reflect an overwhelming appreciation of the intense amount of information and the comprehensive coverage of subject matter with precise attention to every detail.
