The class is every morning from 9 to noon from June 30th to July 4th. During the week, students will learn the mixing formulas for vinegar paint, wood preparation, texturing techniques and use of graining tools as well as proper finishing varnish. Each student will have created a small grained box and a faux marble mirror to take home and the knowledge they will need to create larger pieces.

Traditions Week is part of the wonderful Common Ground on the Hill program which is now in its 20th year. This is an amazing Chautauqua experience where you can take music, dance, and art classes as well as dabble in film and writing. Call (410) 857-2771 at Common Ground on the Hill to register.
