Exterior Paint for Historic Houses: From Period Colors to Prep

NEW! Exterior Paint for Historic Houses from Period Colors to Proper Preparation

Thinking about new, exterior paint for an older, historic building or home?  A well-done exterior paint job on a vintage house not only enhances the architecture and historic character of the structure, but proper prep and application is simply a good investment.

This course will address the many sides of historic paint – from the pigments and oils of pre-industrial paint and how they influenced exterior colors, to the aesthetics of color in various eras, to best methods for choosing and applying paint and colors on a vintage building today. Dates: Tuesdays, October 18 & 25, 7-9pm; Saturday, October 22, 9am-4pm Cost: $230

Space is limited in all courses! Please register by October 7 to avoid disappointment!  Call Drew’s Caspersen School of Graduate Studies at 973/408-3118 for a brochure and registration information or visit our web site at http://www.drew.edu/historicpreservation
