This class will provide instruction, demonstration and practice in repairing walls that have holes or other damage. Students will work on smaller areas requiring only some fill and repair, as well as larger areas requiring cutting out and replacing drywall sections. Also included will be the process of finishing and preparing for painting. Plaster and lathe repairs can be addressed if students would like and time allows.

About the instructor, Geoff Poor: Geoff has patched many holes in many walls in his handyman business, and has often taught homeowners how to do it themselves.
