Learn Marbling & Graining From the Best
The Chicago Institute of Fine Finishes is pleased to bring in one of the foremost faux finishers in the UK for an exciting five-day course in marbling and graining.
From July 7-11 (9 a.m.-5 p.m.), you’ll experience hands-on instruction on mastering brush techniques and different methods of building depth and realism for the following finishes: Oak, Mahogany, Satinwood, Walnut Burl, Carrara, Porto, Grey Breche, Sienna and Verte Antique.
During the class, a variety of approaches and materials will be explored so you can tailor them to your clients’ budgets and site needs. At the completion of the course, you’ll have nine completed sample boards.
Cait Whitson, the course instructor, has been involved in the decorative arts since 1985. She trained in London at Leonard Pardon’s School for Specialist Decoration and at the late Bill Holgate’s school. Established in 1996, Cait’s current business Carte Blanche attracts clients throughout the UK and Europe, including titled people, noted families and owners of historic houses. She teaches at her own studio, which is the only private School of Decorative Finishes in her native Scotland, and travels extensively to instruct at technical colleges worldwide.
Cost of the course at the Chicago Institute of Fine Finishes includes continental breakfast, lunch and all supplies ($1,695.00 total). Class size is limited to 10, so don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn from a world-class artisan and add these versatile finishes to your portfolio.
