Miller Point ParkPottery Barn Finish Furniture Painting Series
Learn to give your furniture a Pottery Barn style refresh in a hands-on workshop led by Heather Padolina. This first session centers on prepping surfaces and painting techniques, and you are encouraged to bring a small piece to work on. A separate follow-up class focuses on applying a water-based glaze to complete the signature look, and attending both is not required. Expect step-by-step guidance and plenty of practice so you leave ready to tackle your own projects at home. The cost is $65 and space is limited to eight participants. Takes place at America’s Antique Mall Algonquin.
