| The Gallery at the Potomack Company before an auction |
We still have over 8 weeks to go before the workshop. With limited available seats, and if you or a fellow appraiser are interested in attending, I highly recommend to register sooner rather than later and risk being put on a waiting list.
As I mentioned in earlier posts, please keep in mind this is not a lecture based workshop, but a program with guided discussions and hands on inspection of items of interest to each participant. Yes, as a class we will look at a mixture of antiques, contemporary pieces, Asian and fine art. Additionally attendees will also get to review and inspect any items of interest which are on hand in the Potomack Company gallery.
As a group we do interesting things such as comparing a good antique to one which has been restored or altered, or compare a revival example to a period example. We put items under an ultra violet light to detect damage and repairs. During day 1 of the Workshop we also discuss worksheets, forms, tools, market trends, dealing with clients, and other appraisal management practices. We will also discuss contracts, fees, preparations logs and many other documents, websites/links for finding values, and glossaries useful to the personal property appraiser.
This is an excellent opportunity for experienced appraisers who wish to expand their specialty areas by participating in a hands on program to inspect personal property of interest and expand their knowledge base. It works equally as well for the new appraiser looking for methods and tips on inspection and who just might need hands on training and confidence to make their practice take off.
We award 16 PDCs for the class, with half the credits within the valuation area to assist with USPAP qualifications/re-qualification. If you are not interested in taking the class, please tell a fellow appraiser or a new appraiser in you region about the workshop.
This is a unique workshop, as it has been planned as a discussion based program, not a day of lecture and slides, but actually classroom and instructor interactions along with hands on identification training from the on hand consignments at the Potomack Company. This is a one of a kind program.
Feel free to reach out to Jane or me or CLICK HERE for more information, but dont wait long, as the available seats are limited.
