About

Have a well-loved piece of furniture in need of repair or just wish you knew how to bring one back into usable condition? Or do you want to touch up or even completely renew the finish on a fine piece? In this hands-on class, you will learn how to assess a piece of furniture and how to repair it.

You can bring your own piece of furniture or a part, such as a drawer, that needs help. If you don’t have a piece but would like to learn repair techniques, the instructor will provide a project for you to work on. The instructor will discuss the repair issues of each piece that students bring, so you will learn about a wider array of techniques than just what is needed for your own project.

Details

• Upholstery must be removed before class. If your piece is so heavy or bulky that you need to store it in the shop for the duration of the class, the instructor must approve it beforehand. Please use this form to contact the instructor.
  
• If your project is too challenging to complete within the four sessions of this class, you may continue the work during open studio or in a future furniture repair class. Open studio is always free for members. Non-members can  participate without paying the usual $20 open studio fee if they are completing a class project.
• Wear safety glasses and closed-toe shoes, tie back long hair, and avoid loose-fitting clothing and jewelry. We recommend bringing your own safety glasses.
