Course Overview

To book a space for our Weekend Feature Wall Paint Course, please call our Master Applicator Darren Quinn directly on  00353 766803532.

The Feature Wall Paint Course was developed to demonstrate and teach you how to create stunning feature walls and ceilings with metallic, iridescent or pearly paints, from smooth to velvety to textured. Course attendees will also explore how to combine them to great effect.  This 2-day course closely connected with our other high-end Venetian plastering courses will equip you with the knowledge of how to create high-end accents quickly and efficiently.

This course is held on a Saturday and Sunday in our Irish training centre, and you will be trained on walls, corners and large sample boards.

You will make sure you will be confident enough to take on any size of job with Italian designer paints, create solid and durable base coats and apply various protective and effect coatings.

Just as our other courses, the Italian decorative paint training covers contemporary and traditional Italian and British application methods and effects but features certain finishes -in this case how to create metallic features and combine them with Venetian plasters- more prominently.

How Much You Can Charge After the Course

A 10 square metre feature wall with Italian designer paints starts from 300 euros or pounds and can cost as much as 1200. Large areas cost generally start from 65 and can be as much as 120 per metre square (9 square feet) in local currency.

 

Where is the Course Held

All our Venetian plaster and Italian decorative finish courses are held at our training centre at 20 Station Road, Castlewellan, BT31 9NF in a huge, square metre purpose built industrial unit – only 1 hour 40 mins drive from Dublin and 50m from Belfast.  Castlewellan offers a number of local hotels and B&Bs if you’d like to stay over on Saturday night.

Please don’t hesitate to call our friendly team on  UK: 03330 124396  IE:  00353 766803532  or send a message to [email protected].
