Faux Marbling Columns

Faux marbling: The art of making something that is man-made look like something that was created by nature.
Starr Hardridge, one of the seasoned decorative painters, who skillfully worked on the side shrine to Our Lady and the shrine to St. Joseph, has also been working on the Baldacchino. The Baldacchino, which stands several stories tall, takes 1-2 weeks per column, to look like Italian Marble.
Starr has forged ahead with determination on a task, which has previously not been seen on this scale. To view the finished product and to hear more from Starr on how he hopes to inspire our Sacred Heart Cathedral parishioners, see the video below.
