Welcome to the Great Lakes Decorative Arts Studio, GLDAS!
We are centrally located in the Midwest, Cleveland Ohio, an easily accessible destination to take faux finishing classes and learn faux finish techniques.

The Great Lakes Decorative Arts Studio is a school devoted to presenting the latest techniques in the faux finishing and decorative arts industries. We use the finest products available to the professional faux design world, preferring to use the best product for each specific application. “On the Wall” experience is a bonus, as we have a 35’ wall with miniature ceilings where you can apply your knowledge.

HGTV RENOVATION NEWS!

Ann recently returned from the Washington D.C. area, where she spent three days installing designs in the Green Living Show Home in Falls Church, VA. Filmed for HGTV’s My Big Amazing Renovation and NBC’s House Smarts, the premier home is built to MyGreenCottage healthy home standards and LEED certification. Ann created the designs for the only ceiling to be decorated in the home. Artists were selected from all over the country to work on this green home. Only water based products were used to ensure easy cleanup and environmental friendliness. 

Ann applied ceiling medallion and border designs in one room and also transformed a concrete cinder block wall into brick to coordinate with the existing brick that had previously been the exterior wall. The Show Home Grand Gala Event and reveal was Saturday, June 20, 2009. For further information and schedule of TV airing, visit www.mygreencottage.com or check back with us. We'll let you know when we find out ourselves!
