In this two-session class, you’ll learn the basics of repairing holes in walls and ceilings. From tiny patches to larger teardowns, a few simple tools and some inexpensive products make it easy to fix patches so that you can’t even see where it was fixed.

This is a hands-on class, where you’ll get a chance to practice the skills in a safe environment. Wear clothes that you don’t mind getting paint on. The second session will be outside in a covered balcony space, so please dress appropriately.

Please be sure you can make it to both of the class periods (listed below) and register only for the first date listed (July 12th):

1. Session One: Sunday, July 12th, from 11am–12:30pm at Reuse Commons Lake City
