Milk Paints and Destressed Finishes with Tim Puro July 23 - 24, 2022
about this workshop
These days painted finishes are all the rage. Whether milk painted for a Shaker look, distressed for a shabby chic effect or decorative finishes that add a colorful accent to a room, it seems that just applying stain to wood is so yesterday. During his two day class, Tim will show students how to produce the furniture looks that are featured in national magazines and home decorating TV programs. At the end of the class students will take home a set of trend finish samples with step-by-step finish schedules so they can replicate them at home. So, embrace your inner Martha Stewart and join Tim for two days of creative finishing!
