O’Guin Decorative Arts Project Manager Receives ArcusStone Certification

Naples, FL, December 18, 2008 --(PR.com)-- O’Guin Decorative Arts is pleased to announce that Project Manager, Mitchell Shields, has become professionally certified in ArcusStone.

Shields recently attended educational training for the management and utilization of this highly specialized architectural and design skill.

ArcusStone is a patented limestone coating that is known for its use in the restoration of historic stone structures and is also ideal for residential, commercial, and renovation projects. The flexible material creates a stone finish and can be applied over any shape and controlled by the applicator.

Shields says, "The certification training deepened my understanding of the material and expanded my vision as to how it can be used."

Shields has worked with the product for several years. The certification gives him a better understanding of the process, application and management of ArcusStone.

Shields says, “I liked that "the finishes, colorations and applications are limited only by the artisan's imagination.”

Shields is the third member of the O’Guin Decorative Arts team to become certified in ArcusStone. Christopher O’Guin, Vice President of Product Sales and Development, and Cory O’Guin, Senior Artisan, also are trained and certified in the highly specialized skill.
