We'll cover frame setup, gun handling, color planning, and finishing techniques like trimming, gluing, and backing. All materials, tools, and safety gear are provided, along with plenty of guidance as you go. Come with a simple design idea or use one of ours. Leave with a finished piece, a new skill, and a good reason to come back. Wear closed-toe shoes and clothes you don't mind getting fuzzy.
