Barb Skivington - Urban Finishes
3 Day Workshop | $985
Cincinnati | Sept. 3-5, 2008 | 9am-5pm
In today’s world we are surrounded by new high-tech materials and designs, not only found in the latest gadgets but also introduced by architects and designers. Only equally modern decorative finishes can live up to them — finishes that fuse the past with modern sensibility — almost always with a touch of something unexpected. Freed from the status quo, Urban Finishes showcases the newest in cutting edge design — whether you are influenced by mid-century modern glamour, the exotic influences of world travel, or simply an overwhelming desire for finishes that are simple but with a modern edge.
Workshop Topics & Techniques include: Proper surface preparation, proper choices for basecoat materials, unique effects with mica powders, new uses for LusterStone, textured and translucent metallic effects, exotic global finishes, modern pattern effects, contemporary polished plasters, and much more!
All of these techniques have relevance for urban decorating today, and this workshop will teach you how to use the latest in faux and decorative effects to add contemporary color, texture and pattern to your portfolio. Unleash your inner modern spirit!
