Fundamentals
of Faux Series
All the classes below are arranged to
benefit the beginning faux enthusiast as well as the professional wanting
additional product and technique knowledge. Questions concerning working
with designers and clients will also be addressed. Each student will take
home sample boards (poster board size) and instruction sheets. As the class
size is limited to 6 students, care can be taken to make sure individual
attention is given. To ensure that the class is not extensively held up by
one student, time can be set up after class to help anyone who may need
additional help with a technique. The classes are taught in a friendly,
relaxed, as well as organized, atmosphere. Students may decide to take 1,3
or 5 days. A certificate of completion is given at the end of 5 days. |
