We're starting the new year scheduling our essential Walls 1 class. Offered every second saturday of the month; this class teaches the basics of wall glazing, keeping a wet edge, glaze formulas, and finishing corners and trim for a seamless professional look. Due to the increased volume of our commissioned work , the full schedule of intermediate and advanced classes will start in April. As always, we offer private lessons in all of the techniques from the curriculum on an hourly basis. All materials are provided and those used are available at your local paint and hardware stores. Please call or e-mail Patina Studios for details.
For 2008, we are offering custom group classes for 3 or more students. Choose the techniques you and your friends or colleagues most want to learn and we'll customize a class specifically for your group. A great opportunity to combine lessons from several different classes to meet your needs. Call or e-mail the studio for details and check out discounts for groups of 3 or more.
Schedule is subject to change and many classes fill very quickly. Please phone or e-mail the studio for information on availability. All classes require a 50% non-refundable deposit to guarantee placement. Please refer to the Registration page for details.
