One-Day Workshop, Graining Clinic, with Fran Phillips
Monday, August 23: 9 A.M.–1 P.M.
Member $125; Nonmember $175
Using traditional and not-so-traditional tools learn the art of faux graining. In this one-day workshop you will work on a 10”x 12” tea box with a large flat surface suitable for this technique. You will learn how to use graining combs, textured rollers, putty, newspaper, and brushes. We’ll take a look at pigments and varnishes, tools, and textures and resources for hard-to-find items. It is the perfect opportunity to tune up your graining skills.
All materials provided. Maximum class size: 10
