I am working with the local chapter of the Society of American Period Furniture Makers to put together a workshop on color theory and finishing. I would be most grateful if you could pass this information about the workshop along to your members. The workshop is titled: Even the blotchy stuff: Staining and finishing wood without fear
It will be 2 day workshop designed to add clarity to the world of finishes and color theory. It will be at the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Art (MESDA), which is in Winston-Salem, NC Feb 8th and 9th. The workshop will be lead by Furniture Make and conservator Martin O'Brien.
Martin O'Brien is a furniture maker and conservator working in Winston-Salem. He is both excellent at his trade and also really good at making complicated matters understandable and approachable. In the workshop Martin will focus on getting folks who are leery of stains and finishes to feel comfortable finding just the right shade of brown.
