Furniture Restoration and Repair Workshop (Day 1)

This class is your chance to bring a cherished piece of furniture back to life and learn techniques so you can restore furniture yourself. It includes a survey of materials and applications, examples of common wear, deterioration and mishandled prior repairs, and cleaning procedures. The instructor will also guide students in troubleshooting problems with pieces that they bring in to restore.

Each student should bring furniture pieces to be worked on in class. Suggested pieces include:
- small coffee tables
- end tables
- chairs
- antique clock cases
- small wood sculptural pieces
- etc.

Due to time and space constraints, pieces larger than these are discouraged. Final approval will be given by the instructor once he is shown detailed photos of prospective pieces.
