Refinishing Furniture Workshop


The planets have finally aligned and I'm ready to host a "Furniture Refinishing Workshop" in which I'll cover the basics of painting furniture: paints, supplies, sanding, waxing, staining, etc.

Not only will I teach you what I know, but will also have hands-on stations for you to give it a go yourself. Try your hand at an orbital sander, see the difference between a stain and a wax, learn about various paints and paint brands. Who knows...maybe I'll even learn something new!

Details:

When: Saturday, October 15
Time: 10am-12pm (I think we should be able to cover the basics in about 2 hours, but if we run over, the party can just keep goin'!)
Place: My "studio" in Liverpool (a VERY fancy name for my garage and outdoor workspace...I can't sand in my house!). I'll send out my address once I receive confirmation from you.
Cost: Please contact me for pricing
What to wear: something that can get a bit messy--this ain't washable paint!

Please leave a comment or email me directly if you are interested.

  2. I would love to attend your workshop! I paint furniture for my own use and would like to learn new techniques and something about the resale side of it.
    Let me know if you have room for me.
    Thank you~ Lainey
