I started my training at stucco & stucco in October and I was blown away with everything to do with the company. Training facility is fantastic the tools and materials were next level and Andy the main man is so professional at what he does. I’ve had the opportunity to push myself onsite with #teamstucco also which is priceless and greatly appreciated. Definitely the place to go if your interested in the art of polished plaster.

As I don't do Facebook, So I'll have to use my wife's Facebook to leave a comment, on our time on the course at Stucco&Stucco.I'm a stonemason and have been for over 30yrs we do have similar crossovers within these trades, Taking a raw material and turning it into something beautiful or in some cases an art form. I'm so glad my wife and I took up this challenge to learn something new that will help us in our future venture.Andy for me is the perfect teacher, he makes everything look effortless, I know I've taught my own trade to people, it's very hard, but Andy made our 5 days of learning so enjoyable, not only have I started to learn a new trade but I've learned how to teach my own trade better. Thanks for that Andy The course was outstanding, much to learn, many surprises, but always enjoyable. Andy from one artist to another I tip my hat to you.I'll be in touch soon.
