Looking for new DIY wood projects to tackle? Dive into the creative world of mid-century modern restoration at this fun five-day course from OP Woodcraft!
Hosted in a spacious Cotswoldian workshop, this course will help you learn the basics and in-depth professional skills of French polishing, contemporary wood finishes and woodcare.
You'll start by taking a mid-century modern piece of furniture back to its original state, or if a bit more adventurous, redesign it into a contemporary portfolio piece!
Your friendly teacher Oliver will be on hand with guidance and plenty of tips as you work on one to two portfolio pieces of your choice, allowing you to go through the full restoration process within five sessions. You'll also have numerous sample boards to complete throughout.
In this course, you'll cover:
- French polishing and contemporary wood finishes.
- Health and safety.
- Polishing materials, tools and personal set-up list.
- Stripping, neutralising and sanding/wire wool techniques.
- Staining and grain fillers.
- Shellacs, touching in and waxes.
- Finishes – varnishes, stains, oils, polishes.
- Brush, rag and rubber techniques.
- Aftercare.
- Photography.
- Guidance on the next steps if you want to take your skills further.
Whether you're looking for fun craft classes to try with a group or unique experience gifts for a crafty pal, you'll finish this beginner-friendly restoration course with a host of new skills and your bespoke furniture to take home!

Your teacher
My name is Oliver Piepereit, and I’m a trained architectural interior designer with a passion for all aspects of arts, crafts and design. I’ve wanted to design and make on a small scale for many years, so I pulled away from the rat race and trained up in furniture design, making, restoration, refinishing and French polishing. Following my tuition, OP Woodcraft was formed in April 2014.
Life in the rat race was tiring, stressful, monotonous and took valuable time away from what is most important in my life -- family and health. Working in a practical, creative environment has sculpted a life that is low in stress with an abundance of escapism which I’m sure translates into my work.
