In this course, we will focus on a variety of ornamental finishes, which can be applied across an entire piece — such as a marbleized dresser — or used as a decorative element on a small portion of a piece — like a gilded edge on a picture frame.
This advanced finishing class, taught by master finisher Jim Altman, is intended for students who have completed our Finishing Basic and Finishing Intermediate classes or equivalent.
Students will learn how to design and apply a variety of ornamental finishes, including gilding, distressing, and faux finishes such as marble, stone, and tortoise shell.
