DECORATIVE PAINT EFFECTS
Paint-effects have had a long and fascinating history, spanning from ancient Egypt to the present day. They have
been employed in the grandest of interior, from stately homes and theatres, to more humble locations - such as
in the tradition of ‘folk art’ where the graining of doors and furniture imitate more expensive woods. We offer
courses at all levels to suit individual needs. The studio provision has a positive working atmosphere, been light
and airy, and it is well equipped, with ample space for each students needs. Basic materials and tools are available
to the student at discount rate.
The tutor is a practising fine art painter, fully qualified in the skills of antique restoration and French polishing.
He is both an experience teacher and a successful freelance artist.
