Their passion for decorative finishing, as well as enthusiasm and commitment for educating others, is apparent in this exciting class.

Others are hot off the easel! All have been tried and proven on actual jobs. Many samples are simply stunning and complete in 1, 2 or 3 steps: Easy to sell, easy to execute, easy to live with. Additional layers of design and/or embellishment take them to the next level, for those people or spaces that demand more! Showcase your creative versatility with these standout designs that will set you apart from your competition.

The in-depth workshop manual will detail the 16 designs, with instructions for an alternative variation of each finish a total of 32 complete recipes along with notes and inspirations for the 4 canvas artwork pieces. The inclusion of the latest products like StoneDecor and Rock-Kote adds to the versatility of these trendy and timeless finishes, making them suitable for surfaces beyond walls: think countertops, floors and more!

Testimonials:
...
"These girls ROCK! They provide the most comprehensive set of notes that I've ever seen. The finishes they teach have all been previously done by them ON THE WALL and are proven money-makers. Within two weeks of returning from class I sold three jobs from my new sample boards.
George H from New York
I loved Karen and Liz's class. The finishes are amazing and they "Wow" everyone that sees them. The instruction and organization is unmatched. Karen was able to get me out of my comfort zone and make me realize that I am capable of more. I have sold several of the finishes since taking this class. Karen and Liz are extremely talented and I would recommend this class to anyone.
Debbie S. from Ohio
This class not only provides with you with a cutting edge set of boards to fill your portfolio, but they provide you with an additional set of recipes to make another set of samples after the class. It keeps the adrenaline going.
Plus these are already wall-tested finishes and you are getting tips throughout the class telling you just how it will work on a large surface. You will enjoy this class...it is full of laughs and finishes that are proven to work.
