The Experience
What You'll Walk Away With
Professional Technique
Engineering the room — where seams land, how patterns flow, where the eye lands first. Master measuring, trimming, paste application, pattern matching, and the corners, outlets, and uneven walls every real installation throws at you.
Material Knowledge
Understand the differences between vinyl, grasscloth, silk, paper-backed, and specialty wallcoverings. Know which adhesives, tools, and techniques each requires.
Tools to Take Home
Leave with a kit of Lauren’s favorite professional installation tools — smoother, sweep, Euni tool, blades, broad knife, blade trimmer, seam roller, and more — yours to keep.
Portfolio Photography
A professional photographer joins us on-site to capture you at work and your finished installations — so you leave with portfolio-quality images for your business, website, or social channels.
The Experience
Four days on a historic Mississippi River property, with breakfast, lunch, snacks, and beverages provided. Hospitality is built into the curriculum.
