Isabel O'Neil Studio Workshop

Design PracticeEst. 1955

Manhattan decorative-painting school on the Upper East Side teaching the faux-finishing and painted-finish techniques developed by conservator and teacher Isabel O'Neil (1908-1981). Founded in 1955 and organized through a guild of Studio-trained instructors, the workshop offers structured classes in historic European decorative-painting methods adapted for contemporary materials, continuing the practice detailed in O'Neil's 1971 reference book on painted furniture and decoration.
