- **Event Description**: A beginners class for having creative fun with an old or unloved piece of furniture in need of  a transformation.About this EventFurniture painting is a great way to learn how to upcycle. It's an opportunity to learn a new skill, relax in the company of others and get creative with a piece of furniture. We reckon you'll be amazed at what a lick of paint can do to bring a piece back into style and make it lovable again!A warm welcome awaits you at our art studio. It's a friendly creative space.We'll guide you through the whole process, from designing your piece, how to prepare and repair furniture for painting, different types of paints, to sharing with you product recommendations and insider tips to avoid and fix common mistakes.You’ll learn how to identify great furniture to upcycle and where to source second hand pieces. You can mix up your own chalk paint, ideal for aged pieces or use a premixed brand for a smoother finish. We’ll help you practice and refine your brushwork skills.What will you do in the class?You’ll learn the techniques required to achieve a clean, finished look for your furniture that can include graduated colour. For those interested in the shabby chic or antique look, you’ll be shown how to distress your furniture and how to use two tones if you want to work with a couple of contrasting colours. This may involve paint layering, dry brushing, using broken colour, wash-on/wash-off, rubbing back or an ageing crackle effect using heat. If you want a more funky or retro look, we can show you how to use masking tape to create sharp linear designs. You may wish to try some hand painting too! Finally you’ll learn how to finish and protect your furniture with a soft furniture wax or a varnish.Why take this furniture painting class?It feels good, being creative, learning and reusing.You’ll gain access to paints, brushes, waxes and varnishes and can experiment in a friendly and supportive environment.Learn from our tutors knowledge and experience.
