## Details
Join us on Saturday, May 3rd from 1 PM - 4 PM as we create upcycled Accent Chairs to make a statement piece in your home or room! All experience levels are welcome to participate.

Learn to paint on fabric!
In this 3-hour workshop, you will design, paint, and decoupage your own take-home accent chair using upcycling skills, which you can then apply to any piece of furniture, using chalk paint, decoupage, stenciling, and finishing off with gilding wax. A new, unused accent chair will be provided with your workshop fee (See box details and dimensions below), and a thoughtfully curated assortment of multiple decoupage papers and stencils to choose from for application inside and/or on the side of drawers. The four colors of chalk paint provided are from Daydream Apothecary: matte black, neon hot pink, neon yellow, and seafoam blue. Three shades of furniture wax will be available to add depth and dimension: dark/antique, black, and white. Gold and silver gilding wax will be available to choose from to add extra brilliance and pizzaz, as well as clear sealing wax for you to apply over the chalk paint on both the fabric and wood parts of the chair to secure the vibrancy for decades to come. Aftercare: Learn the importance of letting your finish cure, and how to care for and maintain your finished piece once you get it home.

This class is all about artistic free expression. There is no wrong way to complete this fun art project. The skills learned in this workshop can be applied to any piece of furniture you want to give new life through upcycling. We love furniture art and are excited to share these skills and experiences with you!
