Feature on Wheathills Antique Restoration Courses

Derbyshire Life

Kedleston Traditional French Polishers and Country House Heritage Events staged a successful Open Weekend at Wheathills Farm on Brun Lane, near Derby.

The popularity of the demonstrations by skilled craftsmen and the special guest exhibits, which included a silversmith, horologist and Windsor Chair maker, showed how great an interest there is in traditional skills. With this in mind Wheathills has organised a series of Antique Restoration Course Study days in three parts.

Part I is an introduction to antique furniture covering raw materials, dating and identifying; Part II gives a basic grounding in conservation and maintenance with guests invited to bring a small item with damage to work on; and Part III covers the correct use of materials and procedures in conservation and restoration.

Courses will be held throughout the year, so for more information telephone 01332 824819.
