Central Florida School of Decorative finishes is a learning center for the decorative arts offering classes in faux finishing, color theory, and mural painting, to name a few.  Classes are for homeowners, designers, and professional artists/painters.  Experience and talent are not necessary.  Each class is designed to fit the expertise of the students enrolled.  Students of similar experience are grouped together so no complete novices will be placed in advanced classes.

The school is located at 74 West Second Street in Apopka, just two blocks north of highway 441.  We are about 1/2 hour from Orlando, 1 1/2 hours from Tampa, 1 hour from Cocoa, 4 hours from Miami and Naples. The building was formerly a residence, built in 1943, and has retained many of the original characteristics such as heart pine floors and sanded plaster walls.  The “home-like” atmosphere makes this a perfect canvas upon which to practice techniques to be applied in other’s homes.  Most finishes, after a short warm-up and preparation of a sample board on easels, will be done on actual walls to get the most realistic experience possible.
