I'd like to do a short course in wallpapering skills.
So far all the local colleges I've approached offer only extended
painting and decorating courses aimed at the trade.
Does anyone know of a course that offers what I'm looking for?
Preferred location: within 100 miles of London
Preferred duration: short!
Hope you can help.
TIA
Rob

Why not try and get someone to show you. It really is quite simple to
do. The technique that is. The rest is just practice.

Funnily enough the best way of plaserboarding is very similar. Get all
the boards cut and laid out first then mix the adhesive and apply it.

Allow the paper to get wet enough to stetch so do four or five at a time
then while waiting, paste another 4 or 5 up. When you have hung the
first paste the third and apply the second set.

You may find that matching the patterns works better every other length
on some designs. And of course start in the middle of the wall using a
plumb line to keep the first one straight. The rest just butt up to that
one.
