No prior wallpaper installation experience is required. Our class is designed for complete beginners as well as those with some DIY experience who want to learn professional-level techniques. Lauren starts with the fundamentals and builds up to advanced methods over the four days.

Your tuition covers four full days of hands-on instruction with Lauren and her team, all luxury designer wallpaper and adhesives used during the class, Lauren’s favorite professional tools to take home, professional photos of your installs for your portfolio, website, or social media, breakfast, lunch, snacks, and beverages each day, a certificate of completion, and access to the Perla alumni network. Lodging is not included — we’ll send registered students a list of recommended hotels.
