	What's New
This section is for anything new or latest news in the texturing world. We'll start off with Artex and their impending new approved texturers scheme. Originally it was the Federation Of Artex Texturers, which i was a member. A good scheme where you were actually assessed by Artex and members had full support from Artex. In 1997 Artex joined forces with Blue Hawk and the Federation stopped with the launch of Team Build which is the current scheme for which you can still join for free. They are now hoping to launch ART - Artex Registered Texturer any any Team Build members would have received the literature. Here are some details of the schemes and how you can apply to join.

ART - Artex Registered Texturer

As an Artex Registered Texturer you will be seen as the authority on Artex. As an ART member you will receive an official certificate, a sales presenter plus an ART logo to use on your stationary and much more.
Artex will assist your sales by adding your details to the Artex-Rawlplug website, Yellow Pages advertisement and through promotion of the ART scheme in consumer media.
What you need to do is attend a 1 day Artex Registered Texturer's workshop where Artex will demonstrate new techniques and patterns and provide an opportunity for you to share knowledge and expertise with them and other texturers. There is a joining fee of £100 plus an annual fee of £100. For further details and an application form contact Artex via their website or phone 0115 945 6100.

With recommendations being the main source of trade every household you enter has the potential to bring you more work.
