During the 2006 Grand Masters Program, Creative Art taught students how to engrave photorealistic fine art images, including proper anatomy of animals, scene and landscape development, perspective, foliage, skies, water, and much more.
The Creative Art team returned in 2010 to share even more techniques, including an advanced understanding of light, perspective, artistic balance, and visual rhythm. The course included a balance of graphic art design and refined execution techniques in metal with personal guidance from start to finish. It was intended to help engravers break through their existing art barriers and boost their level of work.

In 1987, Giacomo Fausti set up a studio in his Italian home with engraver Ugo Talenti to combine their talent and create a new firm specializing in fine engraving and high-end art. By 1989, Giovanni Steduto joined the firm, followed by Valerio Peli and Armando Piardi. This firm was named Creative Art.
The idea was to build a team of talented engravers and artists to offer extraordinary handmade engraving and artistic creations. The result is one of the world’s most impressive portfolios featuring a range of styles from classic traditional work to unique and modern designs.
