Regardless of experience, apprentices are able to start by mastering the beginning stages of the fresco process! 🎨

These apprentices spend countless hours training under Frederico to perfect the historical, labor-intensive process of fresco preparation and implementation. 👩‍🎨👨‍🎨

This traditional process challenges apprentices creatively, physically, and mentally.

Due to the rigorous and time-consuming process that traditional fresco requires, this work equates to a part-time job for many apprentices. By completing the program, artists will gain valuable knowledge and skills required to carry on this art form! 👩‍🎨👨‍🎨
