Each studio offers workshops that will show you how to use our glazes, crackles, stains, and stone to produce a wide range of finishes from faux stone, brick, leather and easy marbles, to some of the hottest decorative and fantasy finishes on the market today. No more struggling with unclear directions and uncooperative materials; learn from the pros using professional grade products how to achieve consistently spectacular  results every time with ease, and in far less time.
