"Modern World Finishes" by Mindy Harrell
This is a 3 day class designed to build upon your existing skills and expand your knowledge of product usage, design concepts, and "art inspired" techniques. You will learn how to embellish your work and use multi-medium mixing to maximize the creative process. More artistic freedom is encouraged in this class to give your portfolio customization and assist in promoting your "inner Andy Warhol." Mindy will show you what it takes to create modern day representations in a way that it becomes a piece of "artwork" in itself! Mindy is well known for pulling many "tricks" out of her creative bag and she will share these tips so that you too can make money with your finishes. An added bonus to this class is leaving with a custom piece of art work created by... YOU!
On top of it all, you will leave with a comprehensive technical binder detailing the finishes taught for your reference. You will leave with 15+ samples utilizing the favorites from the silver and gold label line by Faux Effects International!
Pre-requisite: CCI series or comparable training at another studio. A continental breakfast will be served each morning and a catered lunch.
Investment: $995.00
