Here are some comments from Subscribers & the Industry:

"For those of you still debating whether or not to subscribe to Vertical Artisans let me be the first to attempt persuasion. The training from Nathan is invaluable. In looking through the gallery I found his work truly inspiring. His willingness to share "tricks of the trade" and allow others to view his craftsmanship make his website one of choice. Two added bonuses are time and money saving. Now you don't have to plan and save to go across country for a needed instruction course. Just click the mouse! Available to you are continued education classes day or night meeting your schedule time and again.
Thank you"

"I believe that the training you will receive from Vertical Artisans is probably the best in the industry. I have been to several training seminars around the U.S. and the video training that is available from Nathan is the best ever. I believe that beginners as well as seasoned artist will benefit from this training, not to mention the money you will save. These online classes are priceless.
Thank You Nathan."

"The magic isn't in a tool, it has to be in you. Nathan's training and
the Vertical Artisans website give you plenty of great tools and plants a seed of that magic in you. You will have to be a student of nature and practice with the tools, but in time your imagination will become the real magic. My carving improved a lot. I learned of many new tools, like a broom and chipping relief from trowels, and also learned alot from the videos. I've learned from everyone I've trained with and believe there is much more to learn from all who are participating in the Vertical Artisans website. Vertical Artisans is a great website to get so much information in one place, so enjoy becoming the magic."

"I've worked with Fosile Crete, Flex-c-ment and even taken the course form JPJ Technologies. I've even achieved looks and created methods on my own that others said couldn't be done. I can say that in the many years of being in the decorative concrete indusrty Nathan's work is really fantasic."

"I was on You Tube one day and came across a video of some unbelievable work....I couldn't get on the web site fast enough. In 12 years of being in the decorative concrete markets little has impressed me but this guys colors, texture and over all attention to detail really caught me. I am excited to be a part of Vertical Artisans and look forward to the future."
