Welcome to The Bakersfield School of Decorative Arts. Our mission is to educate our students in the skills required for artistic decorative faux finishes. Our number one goal is to provide our students the time, space, and opportunity to expand their knowledge in a creative and relaxed environment.

Hands-on Faux

All Classes are taught using a hands on method, being structured for both the novice and professional faux finisher. We provide extensive product training, pre-based sample boards, and detailed instructional manuals that you can refer back to long after the class.
