The School of Italian Plasters pioneered sales and training of the Safra Colors LTD. line of Venetian Plasters over 10 years ago. CSIOP and the Wallartistry started as the only two certified instruction centers for Safra Colors. We have evolved to now offer a wider scope of training, service and material expertise.
Additionally, Metro Wallworks hosts classes in the decorative surface industry for visiting instructors.
All classes are geared towards professionals who expect a return on their investment. There are no one day "show me" classes for DIY's. You will leave each class ready to sell your finishes.
$325 1-Day certification course will teach you the full line of Shikoku Eco de Vita products: Sand Series and Diatomaceous Earth Series. The Diatomaceous Earth Series purifies toxins in the air and regulates humidity. We will do 8-10 sample boards including some with glass beads, silk fibers, metallic leaf, and stencils. LEED points are available for these products. Information will be provided along with your handbook.
