The Essentials Of Furniture Painting

If you’ve been meaning to explore the creative world of furniture painting – or want to revisit the basics with a fresh boost of inspiration – this relaxed and practical one-day workshop is a brilliant way to get started with style.

Held upstairs in my shop studio at Absolutely Shabbylass, you’ll be learning in a setting filled with creativity, expert guidance and plenty of encouragement. As stockist of both Annie Sloan Chalk Paint & Fusion Mineral Paint, the shop perfectly showcases examples of my work upcycled with the same products you’ll be learning with. Bursting with love of colour, and commitment to making home projects joyful and accessible.

Throughout the day, you’ll learn a range of user-friendly techniques using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ and waxes – starting with practice boards to help you build confidence, followed by time to transform your own small piece of furniture.

YOU’LL COVER TECHNIQUES INCLUDING:

Two-colour distressing
Textured and smooth finishes
Stencilling
Clear and coloured wax application
Bring along a small item such as a bedside table, stool or dining chair, and you’ll head home with new skills, a renewed sense of creativity – and a piece you’ve made your own.

What do I need to bring?
Please bring a small item of furniture, such as a bedside table, lamp base, kitchen door or dining chair — something light enough for you to carry into the shop and carry upstairs. I’ll need to see a photo of the piece before the day, just to make sure it’s a suitable size for the session.

What time does the workshop run?
Workshops run from 10.15 to around 16.45, with a break for a light bites.

All paint, tools, and aprons are provided — just bring yourself and your piece of furniture!

How many people will be there?
The class is limited to just 4 people, so you’ll get plenty of support, space, and time to ask all your questions.

Please note: Workshop bookings are non-refundable. If you’re unable to attend, I’ll do my best to offer a transfer to another date, subject to availability.
