	We practice What we teach at IWCT Being able to forecast trends in the faux finishing market adds to the success of our students. We teach every student that walks through our beautifully painted doors the importance of how to sell faux finishing, how to be profitable in the faux market, how to offer beautiful faux finishes, and how to stand out from other faux painters in their markets. We know that in order to teach, we must have actual experience of installing the finishes we instruct. Often, faux finishing instructors have little or no on the job experience, so when problems arise, they often cannot help a student out of it. IF WALLS COULD TALK produces faux in the Denver market and abroad. We have learned from mistakes, and have fine tuned our success. We share our mistakes with our students, in hopes that they will learn from them without having to make them. Often, students hire the school to help in the bidding, application and design of their faux and decorative painting projects. We also have a referral service, where we refer our students in state and beyond, in order to help them sell faux finishing. We work hard to break down the barriers of competition and believe that faux painters who work together will always be more successful in the end. Students at the school have even banded together to help each other in the field. This is exceptional, as students learn the importance of being easy to work with.
