Antique Furniture Restoration Workshop

UPDATED 20151204 15:59:00

Do you have a piece of antique furniture that has, perhaps, seen better days and is in need of some careful restoration? Perhaps you would like to tackle the job yourself but feel you lack the knowledge and skills to do a really good job? If so, this course will help you to proceed with confidence! You will learn about the specialist tools needed, how to assess the scope of your particular project, how to patch missing veneer and repair broken joints and all those essential finishing jobs: cleaning, staining, colouring, waxing and polishing. The course is open to anyone from complete beginners to those with some experience wanting to further their knowledge and skills. It is mainly practical in nature with a degree of theoretical content supported by tutor demonstrations and workshop notebooks.
