Painted Furniture Workshop

We are delighted to welcome Louisa Blackmore, the founder of West Egg, to run a new workshop on Furniture Painting.

As with all of of our workshops, it is very fun and friendly with an emphasis on learning something new to help you to create the home that you love.

We work in small groups so that you get lots of help and support. Suitable for total beginners. 

Workshop Format: The workshops run from 10am – 4pm. Join us for coffee from 9.30am onwards. We break for an hour’s lunch at 12.30pm which is included in the day. 

Learn how to: 

• Create an authentic French country look using chalk paints.
• Choose furniture to paint and other preparation tips.
• Painting – learn how to choose & match colours, tips and tricks of dealing with stains.
• Distressing – subtle wear and tear vs. total destruction.
• Waxing – learn how to use clear and dark wax to age furniture as well as create the crackle effect.

Tutor: Louisa Blackmore.
