Course Description:  (Class size is limited - Reserve your space early )

Explore the world of Decorative finishes and learn the step-by-step process to applying a variety of decorative finishes and textures to your Woodwork. Unlike the woodturning world, decorative painters hold their secrets closely guarded and rarely share their techniques – Carmen is completely against this silent code of withholding secrets and will prove it!

Carmen De La Paz started in the construction and design as a decorative painter and has found many of those same finishes work amazingly well on her woodturning work. Packing a ton of information into this demonstration, Carmen encourages your process and discloses tips & tricks to help you discover the endless possibilities when taking your lathe work to the next creative level.

In this one-day, 8 hour workshop, Carmen helps you explore and find your “creative voice” by adding depth, dimension, color & textures to your work.  Sharing decorative painter secrets incorporating tints & dyes, traditional crackle, porcelain crackle and colored waxes, Carmen reveals how the possibilities are truly endless.  As Carmen often says, “you are only limited by your creativity.”  

Finishes and Textures covered in this demo include: Porcelain Crackle, Traditional Crackle, Liming Wax, Powdered & Alcohol Tintes|Dyes & many more!

Student Requirement:
