Do you have a pile of projects sitting in your shop that is complete except for the finish?  Or are you stuck in the rut of making pieces that deserve a great finish, but you revert to rubbing on a bit of oil and call it done because it feels safe and comfortable? It’s time to kick up your skills in my Finishing from Pristine to Patinated class.

Pristine to Patinated

Everything from surface prep to finishing the finish is covered in this five-day class. We’ll begin by taking a project you bring along and properly prepare all the surfaces for the type of finish you want in the end.  Then it’s time to adjust the color, which is achieved by using dyes, stains, chemical treatments, and pigmented topcoats. Patination and aged finishes are also be covered in this week-long class.
