Terms, Tools & Techniques

     Another warm, sunny Summer here in Austin, Texas is refreshing with classes at Austin School of Faux Studio.  Our exquisite European  Plasters, and zero VOC Green Planet Paints are on the fresh edge of decor.   As our market has grown so have we.  We are very proud to announce that we have been chosen as one of 27 International "Platinum Training Centers" for the new Modern Masters "Platinum" Series.  Unique to Texas,  Austin School of Faux Finishes pride ourselves in being on the cutting edge of "Green" Interior Decorative Art coatings.

      Look for the new "Portfolio Builder" series II class, inexpensively available to the Faux Finisher again in July & August.  Let us know if you're interested in a Faux Artist class on Construction Site Spanish if there is enough interest, we'll add that later this year.

     Now in Austin our walls have gone "Green" with "Green Planet Paints" and the new Japanese line "Shizen", from Modern Masters.  All of these new "Green" products were  introduced here in Austin at the "Austin Green Living Home Show" in April.  At Austin School of Faux Finishes, Faux Artists, Homeowners, Interior Designers, Builders and Fine Artists enjoy easy access to ancient  finishes, previously only available on the coasts.   We will introduce the other "Platinum" product lines from Modern Masters including, Bellezza, and the Shizen line of Kyoto, Pataan, and Karoku, as well as Metallic Plasters and Theme  Paints in September.

      Our classes do run full with only six students at a time, and our productions are beautiful.  So, choose a class and  find  the most exquisite interior wall products in the world.  Or just ask us to install your finishes and expect only the best.

 When you're ready to make that step into expert Faux Finisher, I hope you'll consider us for an amazing European Plasters II Class, one of my favorite classes to teach.   Austin Green Builders are requesting American Clay, so you can also sign up for that two day class now.

   Our Hill Country Decorative Artists meetings bring Faux Finishers from Dallas and San Antonio, as well as here in Austin together to share our newest designs and ideas.    Students and Professionals attend our meetings.  Our next get-to-gather will be July 25th, here at the studio at 7 pm.  Check us out.

       Milan, Italy awaits us in 08, so we need to plan our trip this year.  We will want to have a class and take some day trips in the Tuscany area of central Italy.  We hope you'll join us as we want to take fifteen students on this very exciting trip.

      We have completed a major installation of a traditional Italian Villa here in Austin now viewable on the Interior Production page.  And, I hope you'll have a look at our new "Class Information" page for  additional descriptions of our old favorites as well as our newest classes.

DIRECTIONS & MORE

Our school is located in the East Wing of the Design Center of Austin at Penn Field.  We sit up on a hill by the old 1940's Penn Field Water Tower, on the east side of Congress, just a block south of St. Edwards University. Penn Field was the original airport in Austin, Texas, built by old men and Boy Scouts, since all healthy men were fighting during WWI.  Here in the heart of downtown Austin's "Soco" district, we're surrounded by Artists and European Imports worthy of your home. Our open concept is accessible to other wonderful interior retail spaces including Architerra Tile, Alexander Marchant Hardware and Architectural Lighting, and much more including our courtyard and pool.

CLASSES       

Our main class is focused on the Old World European Finishes of Mediterranean Stucco, Roman Piazzo, French Country, Venetian Plaster, Marmorino, and a Tuscany Glaze with products from Japan, Italy, Canada, and the America's.
