I would like to introduce you to the fascinating world of furniture restoration.

There is great satisfaction in transforming a tired piece of furniture back into an impressive thing of beauty. At Paragon, everyone is encouraged to learn how to achieve a truly professional result whatever their background and experience. We work from first principles and develop every subject carefully, stage by stage. All our courses are open to everyone and no previous experience is ever assumed. Our classes are quite small and individual attention is always available.

We are situated in smart premises in the centre of the historic town of Thaxted in the heart of rural Essex where we are accessible and easy to find. We offer en-suite bed and breakfast accommodation to our students within the school building with twin or single occupancy.

We are offering an Advanced French Polishing Course to introduce further techniques to our previous students. This course also presents an excellent opportunity to revise and perfect all your polishing skills. Our new four day Veneering and Repair Course shows students how to veneer and inlay a small box and then to apply these techniques to repairing damaged items of furniture.

I hope we can look forward to meeting you this year.
