Enjoy, up close, the art of hand crafting a unique piece of furnishing on our tour of decorative arts studio of McLain Wiesand. For nearly a quarter of a century, David Wiesand and his shop, McLain Wiesand, have fabricated furniture and decorative art pieces in the careful style of old world artisans. From Federal mirrors to Baltimore chairs, Guilford beds to Jay tables, this shop can carve, sculpt, join, weld and paint almost anything in any material. In many ways, this shop carries on the great tradition of Baltimore’s famed furniture makers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, including William Camp, John and Hugh Finlay, and the Potthasts.

Our host, David Wiesand, will lead you through the Mt. Vernon based McClain Wiesand showroom and workshop to learn about custom fabricating furniture and other decorative arts. Street parking is available. Wine and cheese will be served.
