Window Restoration College at The Belvedere School for Hands-On Preservation is a fun and intense, three-day, hands-on learning experience. Students will learn cost-effective restoration of original, double-hung, wood windows.
You will be part of a team restoring the original 150-year old windows in the historic Lamb-Munger Mansion in the Central Park National Historic District in Hannibal, Missouri. This is a tuition-based class with a limit of 12 students. You will be working side-by-side all three days with instructor Bob Yapp. Bob is nationally recognized as one of the top experts in window restoration and has restored over 5,000 windows in his 34-year career.
This will be an intense, learn-by-doing opportunity. You will learn sash removal, safe paint & glass removal, epoxy wood repair, glazing putty application, weather stripping & sash installation. At the end of the three days you will know from beginning to end, how to completely restore a double-hung window & receive a "Certificate of Completion".
Homeowners, small contractors, preservation staff, preservation commission members, hp students and historic building owners will all benefit from this hands-on, traditional training event. All skill levels are encouraged to sign up.
