 Valerie and Archie
Skemp are pleased to offer another season of intensive workshops in the
decorative arts. It is our aim to teach the designer, painter, and skilled
do-it-yourselfer the "tricks-of -the-trade" in this time honoured
profession. We are dedicated in presenting and teaching the highest level of
course material in a professional and qualified manner.
 The workshops at VALERIE
SKEMP Decorative Arts Studio are intensive and designed so that
subsequent workshops build on the techniques and knowledge of the previous LEVEL
I. Classes are constantly up-dated using products friendly to the environment.
VALERIE SKEMP
Decorative Arts Studio is
the only studio in Western Canada (with 30 years of teaching experience)
offering a comprehensive series of classes in professional
decorative paint finishes. Classes are limited to eight students. With this
elite class size each student will receive the attention required to help master
the skills and understanding of this time honoured craft and art-form!
 We are both
extremely proud of all of our students who have further developed the knowledge
and techniques they have gained from their studies with us and are doing very
beautiful, creative and professionally rewarding work. We thank you and wish you
the very best.
  Valerie is pleased
to see the growing interest in the study of decorative arts. Many flourishing
business and schools have since emerged after students have taken classes from
Valerie Skemp Decorative Arts Studio. You may recognize some of the businesses
in your area, such as Paint Inspirations, The Cats Meow as well as current classes
being taught at B.C.I.T. Some of Valerie's other students have been graduates
from Emili Carr as well as professionals in the film industry. Please
