Enjoy a new winter pastime and participate in the Annual Furniture Rehab Workshop, January 17 - 26, 2025! This event allows participants to bring their projects, tools and refinishing supplies to work at their own hours in a warm, indoor winter environment. This is a great time to refinish antiques and furniture, to re-purpose furniture and other pieces into some other usefulness, or to restore artifacts and other objects of various materials to their original beauty.
Your space includes 2 tables, 2 chairs, floor coverings, table coverings, secured at night to leave your projects, tools, etc. Sanding area, some tools, and clamps available to use. You can share a space if you want.
Instruction on stripping, sanding, repairing, staining, and finishes will be given to newcomers. Experienced participants mentor people with questions. Talks and handouts on supplies and instructions for various techniques will be given on Saturday, January 18, 1:00 pm.
Mini Workshop, $20-Antique Treasurer Box, January 23 & 24, 2025, 5:30-8:30 PM, each night. Participants can bring their own wooden box that can be purchased at Hobby Lobby from several styles, ranging in price from $4-$12. Some small boxes will also be available for $5.00 at the workshop. Various images and embellishments will be applied to a box or wooden object using glue. All supplies will be supplied but the box. The antique look is achieved by applying inks, etc. Spray clear finish is applied when all the box is dry and finished.
We will have a Silent Auction featuring donated items. Donated items do not have to pertain to the workshop. All proceeds will go to NEWFR.
If you have a piece to sell, put your antiques or furniture in the Consignment Sale with a 70/30 split. 30% will go to the NEWFR and 70% going to the owner. This gives participants a chance to pick up a piece that they could refinish or chalk paint. This gives you the
opportunity to clear out items you no longer need, have room for, or the time to work on them.
Carry-In lunch and business meeting on last Saturday, Jan. 25 at 12:00 noon. Silent Auction and Consignment Sale finalized after luncheon.
Techniques are shared in this congenial environment developing a great sense of community. If you work and want to come out after work each day and on the weekends, you can set up when you arrive. All children must be supervised. This is a one-of-a kind, unique recreational opportunity for Gillette and the surrounding northeast Wyoming.
