Martin Alan Hirsch and Joshua Scott Perry..
two incredible talents in the faux finishing industry, have put together the most unique decorative painting workshop The Faux Finish School has ever hosted!
Introduced to Faux Effects at the International Decorative Artistans League this past summer...
the excitement surrounding this workshop were comments like "fresh",. "innovative" and "awesome"...After months of planning, Martin asked Joshua to "show me what you got!"
So this past summer...Joshua created four pieces for Martin's home..
Amazed and impressed by his talent..Martin knew Joshua's "fresh" creativity was the direction he wanted to take the studio...
The groundwork is done....the curriculum is complete.....ANOTHER workshop is scheduled!
Faux finished canvas....For the artistic finisher who wants to broaden their abilities and tap
into something inviting and profitable....
Five days of technique, application, theory, rendering and study...In this workshop, we will push to
expand your passion for creation and design by working on one-of-a-kind
contemporary art pieces and embellishments with unique finishes and
applications...
20 pieces....in five days..
.
We will work with the industry leading products...Faux Effects®......combining these materials, you will learn to achieve the exact looks and properties needed to compliment any interior.
These canvases encompass the absolute beauty of the materials and they can be tweeked to exactly what many new construction, residential as well as commercial designers clients can't pass up for that room that didn't get a finish.
We will cover topics from inspiration and preparation, discussing the pros and cons of material and support choices...including building frames.
A section on stretching canvas and proper basecoats and primers will be covered. Your experimentation and participation will be encouraged along the way...to keep you motivated and excited about the direction that faux finished canvas art can take you...
Learn to work with designers and clients harmonizing wall and ceiling
finishes, and custom art pieces.
This hands-on workshop will refresh and renew your
passion and zest for the art and business of faux finishing...to the next evolution of this industry....
The addition of this class will diversify your portfolio and elevate your business to a new level offering more than "fixed substrate" work.
Once your clients realize your now unlimited artistic capabilities, you will become invaluable. You will walk away from this class with beautiful finishes..of stretched canvas, flat canvas (learn how to stretch),as well as styrene boards for presentations.. You will also finish your final canvas in a custom wood frame that you will have finished

Decorative Finishes Studio reserves the right to change the curriculum as new finishes are introduced and older finishes are less specified by designers.
We feel this will give the student a more unique portfolio than any of their competition!

is designed for those wanting to tap into their creative side and are not afraid of thinking "outside the box"...
A creative spirit, desire to learn and some painting experience..is all that is required to attend this workshop!.
