If you don't have your furniture piece by now please start thinking about it. It  should be smallish in nature- for example a wooden chair or side table. If you have any questions please call me at 269-3882. In preparation for this class you will need to go to the paint store or Do it Best or Syracuse Lumber and get 5 color swatches-these will be the colors you will use on your piece of furniture. Soooo before you come you must have the colors picked out and where you will use this piece once it is restored. You will also need to bring foam brushes to put on the primer and base coats- you can get these at the local hardware store. I will supply the primer, paint and sand paper.

Let these photos inspire you...for your project!

Suggestions to make your projects fair ready

Some of you are taking your projects to the county fair. Please remember to fill out the description part of the fair tag that we gave you. You may also want to add a short narrative about your pieces.  1. Tell why you picked the colors or design your used- was it to match something in your room 2. For the magnetic board-explain that 6 coats of magnetic primer were applied to the base board before you started the project. 3. Tell the judges how you will use your creation. 4. Add a plate stand to the glass plate class. More suggestions let me know & I will post them! Thanks again!
