French Polish Workshop
The Walpole Artisans are offering a FREE workshop entitled French Polish: The Ultimate Furniture Finish with professional woodworker Peter White. The workshop will be from 1--3:00 p.m. June 12 at Peter White's studio. Peter describes French Polish as "low tech, green and beautiful: it is a venerable technique for applying a shellac finish to furniture and produces a high gloss sheen as yet unmatched by any modern finishing technique". Peter will discuss the steps necessary to create a beautiful finish beginning with surface preparation, materials used and ending with a demonstration of the process itself. For more information about this workshop please call or stop by The Walpole Artisans 603-756-3020. The store hours are: Wednesday - Saturday from 10:00 - 5:00 pm and Sunday 11:00 - 3:00 pm.
