I’m restoring 1880s sash in Providence using traditional linseed oil paint and putty, and I’m seeking a weekend course that adheres to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards — any solid options in New England this winter? Ideally it covers dutchman repairs, proper glazing, and low-temp steam paint removal, with an emphasis on retaining original fabric; CEUs would be a plus.
I’ve had good luck with North Bennet Street School’s weekend Historic Windows workshop in Boston — SOI-aligned, hands-on with dutchmen, glazing, and low-temp steam; check their winter CE calendar and ask about CEUs: https://nbss.edu… One tip that stuck for me: pre-oil the rabbets 50/50 linseed/turpentine the day before glazing so the putty doesn’t flash in a cold shop. Would Providence-to-Boston work for you?
