What am I doing?
During the Restoration & Decorative Painting course, you will work in our workshop. Here, you will receive various assignments and modules in which you will learn to apply various techniques and materials. For example, imitative decoration techniques or applying gold leaf and other gilding techniques. You learn various research skills required for restoration painting, both interior and exterior. In addition, you learn to draw up an advice and carry it out in a real-life project.
What am I making?
In the studios, you work on assignments, learning processes that tie in with real-life situations. In real-life assignments, for example, you restore wall decoration in a historic building or apply new painting to a wall in a public space.
What am I learning?
You will develop knowledge and skills in imitation techniques, gilding, decorative and restorative techniques, design, hand and computer drawing, colour design, knowledge of materials, paint technology, entrepreneurship and costing.
Where do I do my internship?
During the Decoration and Restoration Painter programme, you can do traineeships at maintenance painting companies. You will learn the basics of maintenance and decorative and restorative painting. You can also choose specialised decorative painting companies that produce work for private individuals, amusement parks or sets for theatre, for example.
There are also specialist restorative painting companies that carry out restoration painting on (national) monuments and, for example, companies that restore furniture. Finally, framers or companies specialising in gilding, wall covering or imitation techniques are among the possibilities.
What should I be able to do and like?
The Restoration & Decoration Painter course requires you to have practical, spatial and technical insight. You like working with your hands and are interested in interiors, colour and design. A decoration painter has an eye for detail and works very precisely. During our restoration training you will do a lot of research into the history of buildings and objects.
Do you recognise yourself in this? Then chances are good that you are a decoration and restoration painter!
What can I do after SintLucas?
After the decoration and restoration painter course, you can, among other things, start your own business or work for a company that carries out restoration work or advises on it. You can do decorative painting in theme parks or in the interior and exterior of buildings. You can also continue your studies at a higher vocational school in the field of interior design, architecture or decoration and restoration.
How does application and admission work?
You will apply for the programme of your choice via our website from 1 November 2024. After your application, you will receive an invitation for a matching interview at SintLucas. During an interview with a teacher and student from the study programme of your choice, together we will see if you and SintLucas are a match. Above all, we have an open and relaxed conversation, so you can make a good study choice. In preparation for the interview, you can bring (creative) work with you. It is also possible to make an assignment. After the interview, you will receive a study advice. This advice can be positive (we think you fit in with SintLucas and the study programme) or negative (we think another school and study programme would suit you better). Even with a negative recommendation, you are admissible at SintLucas. We trust that you will make a good study choice with our advice. Read more about application and admission here.
