Bring your own Smalls

What we cover on the day

During this workshop, you will learn how to correctly prepare a piece of furniture ready for painting and how to apply the paint to achieve a smooth, professional, and durable finish.

You will come away with the skills and knowledge to continue your furniture painting journey with confidence.

Choose from our favourite mineral paints on the day, or if you have a specific colour in mind in our range, please let me know in advance so I can make sure I have it available for you on the day.

What furniture should you bring?

We need to keep it small, so a suitable piece of furniture would be a coffee table, kitchen chair, or bedside cabinet. Nothing any bigger as you won’t have enough time to complete it on the day.

If you are unsure if your piece of furniture is suitable, just send me a photo beforehand.

Make sure your item is in good repair. Things to look out for are:

• Loose joints or large holes
• Must be free of woodworm
• Not already painted or waxed

No upholstered items, please (unless it’s a pop-out seat or is easily detachable).

Additional information

You should bring a blanket to protect your newly painted furniture for its journey home.

This class is also available on a 1-2-1 basis at a cost of £195 — please contact me for details.

What will the day be like?

My classes are fun-filled and packed with hints and tips, they offer a great environment to relax, have some fun, learn a new skill, and meet new friends.

Numbers are kept to a maximum of 6 people so I can give each of you my full attention ensuring that you can get the very best out of the day.

Courses run from 10am to 4pm, with a short break for lunch. Arrive at 9.30 for a brew and a meet & greet.

Where are they held?

All classes are held at my light-filled studio set in a beautiful rural location less than 20 minutes from Derby, Belper and Ashbourne.

There is plenty of secure off-street parking on site.

Please note the studio has disabled access, however, it does have two floors. If you have any accessibility or disability requirements, please let me know in advance and I will do my very best to accommodate you.

What is included?

All tools, materials, and aprons are provided.

The price includes lunch and refreshments (please let me know of any dietary requirements in advance).

What do I need to bring?

Come armed with a notebook and a pen, because you won’t want to miss all those golden nuggets of information on the day.

Painting can be a messy old business so wear your old comfy casuals that you don’t mind if you get the odd splash of paint on. Also, wear safe, flat comfortable shoes.
