About this Class
Polychrome finishes have embellished furniture, turnings, and architectural millwork alike. These mysterious faux finishes have fooled generations, and the process of how they are done is becoming a lost art. Scott enlightens students with his signature finishes including tortoise shell, hammered metal, crackle, crinkle, crystal, and much more. By using secret special formulations, various application techniques, and a touch of magic, these faux finishes come to life. Experimentation will be encouraged, and students will develop their own signature polychrome finish. Scott is a high-energy, enthusiastic and creative instructor who will guide students to make at least a zillion sample boards of their own to take home.
