Learn DIY Furniture Refurbishing and More

Looking for some support to tackle your next DIY furniture project? Whether you’re in need of tools, guidance, or simply some inspiration, Modern Yesterdays has the community-centric workshop environment for you.

Our group work sessions are an excellent way to transform your craft at an expert level without breaking the bank. Together, we can breathe new life into vintage pieces with paint, transfers, and a little elbow grease.

Professionally Guided Classes

Come ready to get messy! At Modern Yesterdays, we offer an excellent variety of workshop events, each led by an experienced professional. From the basics of painting to advanced DIY furniture techniques, our workshops have something for beginners and experienced painters alike.

Workshop Reservations

Ready to try out some DIY furniture crafts for yourself? Give us a call at (724) 502-4800 or drop by the store to secure your spot with us. Class sizes are limited to ensure the best experience for everyone, so let us know early.

Workshop Guidelines

With the exception of specific events, our workshops are intended for artists of 16 years and up. Please arrive 15 minutes early so we can get you settled in before class starts. For BYOP classes, we allow wooden DIY furniture 18”x18” or smaller. Please note that wood types like oak or pine may require an extra product application the day before class.

Unsure about your piece? Give us a call. We’d love to help you get prepared for class.

Booking Flexibility

Life happens — we get it. While our workshops are non-refundable, we do offer the flexibility to transfer your booking to another class if you notify us at least 48 hours in advance.
