About This Workshop
Refurbishing mid-century modern furniture seems to be all the rage these days. If you have furniture that needs some love, this class will teach how to revive mid-century modern pieces without refinishing. Tim will not focus on “tricks” or “hacks” but rather teaches skills and techniques that can be used to refurbish all types of furniture. If students own Victorian antiques, or just old furniture that needs scratches, dings and water marks removed, this class is perfect. The school will provide samples from the mid-century era to work on. Students may bring small pieces to the class for evaluation, but Tim can’t guarantee that there will be time to complete repairs in class.
