THE GREAT UNVEILING

2nd Hands-on Workshop at the Ernest Green House

June 12-16

ABB & Green Siding

Scott Green, the property owner, with QQA's VP for Education, Ann Ballard Bryan, exploring paint options for the historic siding-which will be restored, repaired and repainted once the artificial siding is removed in the GREAT UNVEILING!

 

We are seeking applicants to participate in our 2nd Hands-on restoration workshop! 

We have finalized plans for their second hands-on restoration workshop to be held in Little Rock, June 12-16, 2023. This “Great Unveiling” workshop will take place at the Ernest Green House and the participants will remove non-original siding, make wood repairs and paint the exterior siding and trim. Nationally recognized instructor, Bob Yapp, will provide hands on instruction to a group of up to 18 craftspeople. The workshop will take place at the National Register listed Ernest Green House in the historic Dunbar neighborhood. We will work each day from 8 am to 5 pm.  By the end of the weeklong workshop the participants will have removed all of the artificial aluminum siding and restored as much of the original wood siding as possible.

The project is supported by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Preserve Arkansas, and the QQA.  The cost to participate is $500, however, we have scholarships available.  If you are interested in participating, click the link below to connect.
