Hudson Family Signs-Knotty Pine Workshop-CANCELLED
Date:
Time:
to
PLEASE READ THIS IN IT’S ENTIRETY. WE ARE TRYING A NEW FORMAT FOR PICKING YOUR PROJECT. Mark your calendars for our first workshop of 2020! at Grand River Cellars on 03/26/20 at 6:00. Limited seats available. Cost varies and includes all supplies necessary to leave with a beautiful painted wooden project. Food and beverages sold separate. These are done with a stencil so you don’t have to be crafty to get a great result. You might want to bring a t-shirt or apron to paint in. Please think about what colors you would like your project to be in advance. You get to pick your background board color as well as your writing colors. There is no right or wrong.
The new format works as follows. You purchase the size/shape project you want. Then look through our photo albums on our Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/pg/hudsonfamilysigns/photos/?tab=albums&ref=page_internal They are organized in albums and hopefully easy to look through. You can email us if you have questions about which designs are what size before you purchase. Please note: not all projects are available at workshops. Based on some designs, you may have to purchase a different size/shape. For example, if you pick a design that only fits on an 18×36 board but purchase a 12×16 board, you will get an email or text from us to figure out how we can make your design work. Then at checkout you tell us what the design is on the project and please be specific.
Due to time constraints, you can only paint one item. You can purchase multiple items as long as you are purchasing for multiple people.
Cut off date for registration is 3/24. Please register in advance! Visit the following link to register: https://www.hudsonfamilysigns.com/collections/classes-events/products/copy-of-knotty-pine-grc-workshop-3-26-20-at-6-00pm There are no refunds, everything is pre-cut and ready in advance.
