Corrod Course in London Overview
The Corrod Rust / Corten Look course in London will not only demonstrate, but also teach you how the multi-layers of Corrod should be applied on different surfaces including wood, or MDF boards. Our Corrod course (also called COR-TEN) will enable you to create a stunning contemporary rusted-iron-like design on walls.
On completion of the Rust / Corten Look course, you will be able to apply corrod and transform a wide range of surfaces into a corten steel look. You will also be taught how to work with the two different Activators (C and R) and play with the different colours that can be created (yellow or red rust, or a copper oxide look).
Our trademarked Corrod course will enable you to quickly progress from one completed layer to another as each stage will already be prepared for you! This course will be running on one day, as we are confident that it only requires a couple of hours for you to learn the mixing, application, and various finishes that you can create. Please be aware that we don’t teach trowelling skills or how plastering works.
The Corrod Rust / Corten Look comes complete with complimentary lunch each day at a local Italian restaurant that serves homemade English and Italian dishes.
