About this course
By the end of the course (either one or two days) you will be able to prepare and French polish wooden surfaces to create a range of finishes, from matt to satin to high 'piano' gloss. One day covers all the stages in contracted time; two days allows more time to take the surfaces to a further stage of completion;
Suitable for complete beginners or those with some experience.
This is probably the only course that offers one-to-one tuition for the same price you might pay for a group lesson elsewhere..
No specific skills needed; just an interest in learning the art of French Polishing and the patience to work carefully to produce a beautiful finish.
Certificates of Completion are awarded.
One-to-one tuition makes our course unique. You receive intensive individual tuition throughout the day.

Course programme
You will learn how to create a matt, satin, and high gloss 'piano' finish. Courses run throughout the year, and no previous experience is needed. The dates are arranged individually to suit you, and we normally teach on a one-to-one basis.
Work on our practice boards and on a small piece of furniture that you can bring with you.
