ABOUT THE BESPOKE FURNITURE RESTORATION WORKSHOP
This course is completely tailored to the needs of my student and centred around the piece/pieces of furniture that need restoring. These courses can be as long as we need them to be and are 1 to 1 or 1 to 2 in capacity.
Give me a brief with photos and I can curate a course to fit the furniture and student.
THE FUNDAMENTALS THAT CAN BE TAUGHT ARE:-
- Disassembling the furniture
- Cleaning and consolidating joints and structure
- Cleaning and stripping finishes
- Blemish and scratch removal

After training as a furniture restorer and teaching French polishing for over 10 years, Oliver is keen to offer some of his knowledge in the structural side of period furniture restoration.
The student will need their furniture, existing components, an apron, any veneers and tools they wish to bring, gloves and lunch
Come and spend time at the OP Woodcraft headquarters nestled in the rolling hills of Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds and forget about any life stresses.
