Furniture Painting Workshops
LEARN HOW TO UP-CYCLE FURNITURE PAINTING WORKSHOP
(For beginners)
£145
10am - 4pm
Join Mel & Paul in our new studio, nestled alongside the renowned Tea rooms at Ferny Hill Farm, Hadley wood, Barnet, EN4 0PZ. We will go through the step-by-step process of transforming a small vintage piece of furniture into a beautiful modern piece for your home. You can either bring along your own piece of furniture (e.g. side table / plant stand / small bedside table) Or, if you don’t have a piece, we can supply a piece for you at an additional £15.
A fun day is planned, where you’ll learn new skills and get to release your creativity. The class is capped at 5 so you’ll get plenty of help and support.
The workshop will cover the following:
· The difference of working on wood, laminate and veneer
· How to correctly clean and prep
· How and when to strip / sand
· How and when to prime
· Choosing the right paints
· How to paint and what tools to use
· An insight to different design techniques (decoupage and tape design)
· Creating your very own geometric tape design or decoupage application
· Protective top coat finishes.
All materials are supplied, including an apron. However, we recommend wearing something that you don’t mind getting dirty.
Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided and we’ll stop for a short lunch break. Please either bring a pack-lunch or you can grab some lunch from the Tea rooms next door.
