Description

You will learn to differentiate between a choice of finishing systems and practice their application.

Students will make up their own superior materials, such as wood stain, shellac , wax polish, & wax sticks and then be taught how to apply them to a supplied project. You will be making a polishing wax & wax sticks to take home.

Most materials (including the course project) will be supplied within the price, but students will be asked to bring along some basic items.:- Airtight Tupperware container – min. 6″ square x 3″ high, 2 empty washing up liquid bottles (clean & dry), Pair of Marigold rubber gloves, Pair of safety glasses, Flat bladed wallpaper/paint scraper, apron or other protective clothing – Course aprons are available to buy for £18

Course notes will be provided.

No longer will you be limited to a big brush and a tin of varnish, as you are made aware of the different effects you can achieve by selecting different finishing systems.

I strongly recommend that time and budget permitting you take both the Introductory & Intermediate course at the same time. This will greatly increase your finishing education
