ART ON ANTIQUE REPLICA TINS
1 Day Saturday October 8, 8:00am till 3:00pm

What do you get when you combine a faux finish, an antique replica tin, and some simple painting strokes??? A one- of- a -kind piece of work.

ANTIQUE REPLICA CEILING TINS
Mondays, August 22nd thru August 29th, 8:00 till 11:00 or 4:00pm till 7:pm

Antique replica tins have been mounted on a wooden frame and are ready for faux finishing treatment.  We will be using foils and paint to create a one of a kind work of art for your home.  The process ends with an epoxy top coat that is torched giving the illusion of glass or ceramic.  These tins are lightweight and absolutely beautiful.  They sell at art shows in the range of $225.00 to $750.00 each.  Each student will custom design 2-24" tins.
