1. Understand What You Get

- You can choose either the Patina FINISHES or the Patina PROJECTS Course at half price.
- That means you pay $75 per course (regular price $150).
- You also receive our 6‑week Moderator Training Course completely free.
- During the program, you will:
- Gain real experience moderating a group using a simple, structured system.
- Earn a certificate confirming you are a trained moderator and a contributor to a lasting archive.
2. Understand What We Want

We ask you to dedicate 2–3 hours per week for 6 weeks to simple, repeatable tasks:
- Vet new members and keep the group welcoming and safe.
- Recruit new members (limited to antique dealers).
- Seed conversations and encourage useful comments.
- Write one post each week using an easy-to-follow formula: AI drafts → you edit → editors finalize and publish.
3. Questions You May Have

Do I get full access to my furniture painting course?

Do I have to start on a specific day of the week?
No. You can begin your week on any day and spread your 5 days of activity across the week as you prefer.
What if I get sick or go on holiday?
