ProFaux - Cashing in on Greener Finishes Workshop

Back
New 1 Day Traveling Workshop!
Cashing in on "Greener" Finishes
The idea behind this workshop was to allow the decorative painter to compete in tighter markets while still being creative. The finishes in this new workshop were designed to be as direct as possible using the fewest number of steps, in many cases over existing texture. Many homes today have a rolled and knocked down or sprayed texture on the walls, making smooth sample boards out of reach. These new finishes arm the decorative painter with treatments that are appropriate for newer construction without the expense and mess of heavy surface preparation. Furthermore, in response to the green movement that is sweeping the nation, ProFaux would like to call attention to the fact that they have been “green” long before it was fashionable to do so. Our water based and lime products have little or no environmental impact, therefore we named the finishes in Cashing in on Greener Finishes after America’s Jewels, her national parks and monuments! You’ll get a sense of history as you read the brief descriptions of the majestic and natural wonders each park has to offer. It might even inspire a family trip this year.

Acadia Throughout history, people have come to the craggy and sometimes mountainous coast of Maine. The land that eventually became Acadia National Park, the first park east of the Mississippi River, was donated by early 20th century visionaries that were awed by the beauty and diversity here. Acadia boasts the tallest mountain on the U.S. Atlantic coast and is home to many species of flora and fauna. Visitors love to hike the granite peaks, bike old carriage roads, relax and enjoy the beautiful landscapes.		Gold Rush Follow your dreams of gold but don’t sell the farm to see Alaska. In 1897, thousands did just that in the hopes of easing their woes of economic depression. Many braved the icy passes to reach the Canadian interior only to find they had been beaten by the prospectors who got there first. Some struck gold but as you can imagine most returned home with nothing but a rich experience.

Golden Gate The Golden Gate National Parks contains over two hundred years of history including Native American Culture, the Spanish Empire frontier and the Mexican Republic. More recently you’ll see maritime history, the Californian Gold Rush and the growth urban San Francisco.		Volcano 70 million years of volcanism, migration and evolution produced unique ecosystems and a distinct human culture from the sea. Two of the world’s most active volcanoes are in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and continues to give birth to dramatic volcanic landscapes.
