Let’s Get Started
This is for those of you who
just want to get started painting your first piece of furniture. Bring
your own piece of furniture to our workshop space and we will paint it
together. During this workshop, you will
have unlimited guidance from your favorite local retail partner, umm . . . that
would be me. In addition to the “technical expertise,” I will provide the paint
and wax you need to tackle your project.
We will work from 8 – 11 each morning.
You are responsible for bringing your furniture to the shop. The fee will include up to two Chalk Paint™ colors, wax and other supplies needed (such as brushes
and sand paper). We will learn from each
other along the way. Join us. $175 (None scheduled for July.)
Lighten Up, Chalk Paint™ is easy
This
is a workshop designed to help you salvage that old lamp you were planning to
toss in the trash. Bring your own lamp

into a show piece for you home. Three
techniques will be offered—you choose your favorite. All supplies needed are provided—except the
lamp. $45
