Faux with a pro! Patricia Gulyas is my guest instructor and I'm so delighted!!

In this 4-hour workshop, you will learn how to create very realistic marble and 2 stone effects.

Surfaces are included in your workshop fee as well as the use of all paints and tools.

All work is done in class.

NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED

NAPOLEON MARBLE FAUX FINISH

This is a warm yellowish marble with interesting veins. You will be guided through the project step-by-step allowing time for drying stages.

Once you learn this marble technique, imagine refreshing an old table, or adding a wow factor to your front entrance! Turn a wood mantle into marble for the ultimate in chic!

Also a great background effect for a decorative painting project.

You will be painting on a round 13-inch charger as shown here.

GREY STONE EFFECT

This is a great basic black and white stone effect.

Imagine a little outdoor table and chair set done with this technique!

Once you learn this stone effect you can customize it in any colour combination to suit your decor. Patricia will discuss other effective colour combinations.

I really like the simple look of this stone.

You will be painting this sample on a 6-inch wooden plaque.

FAUX BLACK STONE

A dramatic stone colour with interesting veins of gold.

I think this would look great on a floorcloth or a jewellery box!

You will be painting this sample on a 6-inch wooden plaque.
