*This tiling class is part of our Knowing Your Home Series. See what other upcoming classes we offer in the series here.
Tackling Tile, Porcelain with a Plan! Installing ceramic, porcelain, or glass tile to make a kitchen or bathroom pop. Learn to plan the project, buy what you need, and how to prep before you start mixing the mortar. Learn about substrates, surface prep, transition and border pieces, mastic, spacers, and grout. Learn about the proper tools including levels, and squares, trowels, and wetsaws.
Students will see many real examples of the processes, tools, and materials close-up. Students will also have the opportunity for hands-on practice, but please be aware that due to the nature of teaching tiling in a workshop setting, hands-on practice will be limited. There will be time for Q&A during class.
