I took the mud painting class in February. Well worth the experience. Had never been to Homestead House before and didnt know what to expect. Very nice shop and really enjoyed the class. I had only experience with milk painting, which turns out well, but takes much longer and you have less control because the milk paint sometimes chips in large areas. The milk paint I used came in a powder, so you had to mix yourself. I much prefer the mud paint. Just a light sanding to prepare wood. The mud paint is thicker, but goes on smoothly and dries much quicker. I did a wood shelf and was able to put on two coats and the final wax in class and still finished early. I had another shelf at home that I did milk paint on, and because of the drying time of paint and liquid wax, the process took 3 days. I will be going to buy mud paint for sure over the milk paint.
Very nice place to shop. Great country style gifts, something for everyone. Friendly staff to help you find what you need. And a major plus for someone like me Free gift wrap
