Join us for a demonstration on the basics of refinishing wood, with an eye towards working on home repair and furniture. We’ll start out by discussing how to remove existing finishes from wood items, and discuss ways to make small repairs of damaged areas. We’ll also discuss best practices for applying finishes, with a focus on environmentally-friendly and human-healthy products. Workshop participants will not be doing any hands-on work, but Kelsey will have several examples and provide some live demonstration of the concepts she discusses.
