Introduction: UPCYCLE YOUR FURNITURE WITH FRENCHIC PAINT

Full Day – £140

Ever wanted to transform your furniture but need to know how? Come along to the workshop in Mayford, Woking and learn how to upcycle your own furniture by painting it with Frenchic® Paint in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

You’ll will learn all about prep, painting and different wax and finishes. As its a full day, we sometimes have time to try stencilling to enable you to use your new found skills on a piece of furniture.

This will give you the confidence to create a variety of looks on your projects at home too.

Bring along something prepped to transform (no bigger than a bedside table/ small coffee or wine table) and if it’s a shiny piece, call me and we can discuss what prep may be needed before arrival.

The workshop runs for 5.5 hours. The group will have a minimum of 2 people / max 4 .. Maybe you have a friend who would like to join with you?

Otherwise you can book a 121 in my studio for £175 for a bespoke experience tailored to you .

There WILL be cake and refreshments too! Or a glass of Prosecco if you prefer. Please advise if you have special dietary requirements. We do break for lunch and you can either bring a packed lunch or  you can pop along to the lovely Lily and Myrtle cafe where lunch can be prepared for you. Lunch Price £TBA
