It is undeniable that Italian classic varnish have always been one of the most striking and inspirational aspects for luthiers of all times. But what makes a beautiful varnish so elusive?
Part of the solution is to demystify much of what has been written and said about conventional varnishes and to focus on historically accurate formulas and materials, and to consider varnishing as a process or series of critical steps, all of which are essential to success.
In this intensive six-day workshop, trainees will be guided through the entire varnish process, including wood finish and texture, primer, ground application, and multiple varnish recipes.
You will leave with a better understanding of the varnish process and greater confidence in the result.
