About This Activity
Try your hand at this satisfying and potentially profitable craft—repurposing old or discarded furniture into something newly useful and unique. Turn a dresser into a bar? Drawers into shelving? In this class we’ll start with something small enough to carry to class each week—a stool, picture frame, perhaps a small trunk, a vintage silverware box or piece of luggage. The instructor will share ideas and materials to help you accomplish your furniture makeovers. She’ll cover the basics of bringing your goals into focus, planning your project, cleaning, sanding, removing old finishes, and other preparations needed to transform that outdated piece into something fabulous! Instructor Angie Jones was a special ed educator for twenty-five years and is currently teaching at the Giving Tree School. She enjoys rehabbing furniture, decorative welding, stone carving, pottery, abstract painting, sewing, and especially working with children using found objects to make recycled art.
