I have rescued, restored and redecorated on a regular basis for about 1 1/2 years and for over 30 years for myself. I was watching many furniture artists/refinishers extensively. However I was getting bored with (1) the same or similar techniques being repeated, (2) the extensive “chit chat” and rambling and (3) lack of advanced techniques. I decided after watching many of Amy Howard’s videos to take the course. I am just beginning the course but I can tell you, without hesitation, this has been an excellent decision and investment in myself and my professional development.
The products are unbelievable and awesome. The One Step paint is fantastic. The Clean Slate cleaner is the BEST I have ever used. The waxes are better than any other I’ve used. The products are just off the chart in quality.
Customer service is the best in the industry. You get your supplies shipped quickly and the packaging is not like any other company with whom I’ve done business. I’ve had paint cans pop open when shipped from other companies HOWEVER Amy’s products have clips on the cans to hold the lids shut while in transit. Also, the items that could leak are bagged and the packaging cushions the products nicely.
The videos are succinct, the techniques explained and demonstrated well, and are professional. The book, that goes along with the course, supports the videos and is clear and concise. And the supporting groups and opportunities are fabulous.
If you want to (1) increase your skills, (2) set yourself apart from other refinishers, and (3) build confidence and (4) have fun, TAKE THE COURSE and buy the course bundle of products which is a huge value for what you get. ALSO, I joined the Color of the Month club because it’s a huge value and I can use the monthly colors with what I have from my class bundle.
Seriously, TAKE THE COURSE!!!! You won’t regret it.

Got the course and the supplies (AH packaging is always soooo pretty) and was too excited to wait for completion of course, so used some product I already had for my own version of an Old World finish!

I was thrilled when my box arrived! I have been watching the tutorial videos and re-watching them. I cannot wait to get started. I was amazed to see that they were the full sized products. I have gotten kits from other places before that were sample sizes.

The product and packaging was true to Amy's brand of excellence and high end finishes. I am now learning through the tutorials and feel a whole new world has opened up to me. I love everything about it.

I was very hesitant to participate due to just life's businesses, but taking this course I can say I've truly been inspired to pursue my passion for painting furniture. The classes were very educational and best of all you can watch at your own pace and over and over again. I'm very thankful for finding someone like Amy Howard who is willing to share their passion and knowledge to help better us all.

I am in the process of completing Amy’s Old World Finishing Course. I have completed watching all the videos and reading the workbook. I still have to complete the live online classes; however, I was able to achieve this look through Amy’s printed and online publications. This was my first attempt. I am very happy with what I’ve experienced and learned so far. I am eager for the live portion. I believe well worth the money. Would definitely recommend. Two thumbs up

I getting ready for the class and so excited, I watch Amy Howard on TV every day and I find that the way she teaches is something you cannot only understand and grasp but the knowledge that she has is vast and she teaches so much regularly without it being a class. I enjoy watching her

This course is so informative and easy to understand. Amy is a great teacher and explains every step and why it’s done. She takes her time and is very thorough. You can tell she lives what she does and I feel blessed that she shares all her knowledge and experience with us. Thank you Amy. Worth every penny. Oh! I almost forgot. The product package she offers is phenomenal. All full size and quantity is very generous.

The workbook is great to help you remember how to do each step in the future! As much as i’d like to think I could remember all of it, I won’t!

Great book on finishes.
I’m so excited to start this course. The book is amazing and I will be able to use it forever.

Well written
I worked in a hospital laboratory for many years. We were required to have precisely written manuals for each test that was performed. This workbook meets those same standards, which I appreciate very much. It is a useful tool for me and a good resource to have on hand.
