Description
Learn the skill of Window Restoration ! An essential part of the home, windows provide light, warmth, ventilation, and if not attended, can negatively affect your home’s energy efficiency. If you’re living in a historic home, your original windows add texture, depth and aesthetic appeal to your historic structure, but after 50 or 100 years they may not be in the best shape. We have good news: old windows were meant to be repaired, and with a few hours of training, you will be able to repair them yourself!
Our Window Restoration class teaches students how to repair and restore windows. Specific class topics and hands on elements include: working with window and glass repair tools, prepping window including paint removal, installing new glass, glazing windows, re-stalling sashes into the frame and learning project specific vocabulary.
While you are welcome and encouraged to bring a window to work on in class, don’t leave a big hole in your house. Windows will be provided for you to work on in class (or maybe practice on before you tackle yours). Saturday April 24 10-4pm, $175.00 includes all tools and materials plus one practice window.
