essexandy said:Kirk have a look at the APC web site, they run a fibrous course as well. And you would be taught by someone who actually does it for a living and not just teaches a course. I've been over there today looking in on the fibrous side and the people on the course seemed to be picking it up pretty quickly, although it is a four week course.
Well enjoy the course mate... but the way you texture it is simple you lay it on a bit thicker... say 2-3mm then roller over with hard roller so it looks like bark effect artex... then flatten it in when taking up... the repeat polishing process... simples... i think i will run a course in my garage anyone interested????mistersmooth said:yeah ive checked a lot of that out-thing is i wanna learn all the different finishes,stencilling,pigmenting etc and i reckon this,,ll probably be easiest way-at the end of it i,ll probably think what a piece of p but at least i wont have to jump straight into the deep end when i do 1st job-its booked for end of month

fluff said:Well I did the 10 Day Venetian course at that place in Essex, what an enjoyable steep learning curve I had, as for render systems rolling it up walls I think not some howw. I have had loads of work since because you do loads of area ceilings and walls. being doing solid for years and believe me this stuff is the nuts. The difference is with a lot of solid spreaders out there we tend to jump onboard later because we all seem to know it all, that's wriong I just wanted to increase my skils which am happy about. HEENCE the reason I did it.

i been plastering for 8 years now
i did the venetian course 20 weeks ago, at essex romford i really enjoy it best thing i did!
they where very helpfull and i have to say that set up was good for training
i never look back from doing the course.
i done lots of jobs with the venetian now and more people asking for it. i got a restaurant to do in 8 weeks.
i am looking forward to it. i will make my show peace
and hopefully i get more work from it.
i done bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, it the way you put ur self over and the way u sell yourself wether u get the work or not!
in this day and age u got to a bit differant than the rest of the others plasterers out there in the trade.
i also do lots tiling jobs in hotels this time of year.
i ofter the venetian and show them some boards so they know what they r getting and they love it.
something a bit differant than normal plastering!![]()
good luck to u all happy new year.
