Join us at one of the many furniture painting retreats Annie hosts and attends throughout the year!

What is a Furniture Painting Retreat?

Hosted in stunning locations across the UK and beyond, retreats are the ultimate immersive experience for furniture painting beginners and experts alike. Staying overnight in beautiful accommodation, they’re a chance to receive intimate 1-1 training and advice from Annie Sloan herself and some of the most skilled furniture painters in the Chalk Paint™ business.

They’re also an opportunity to enjoy delicious food and drink prepared by local chefs, and take part in additional activities, such as yoga and flower arranging, designed to enhance the sense of restful escapism. You’ll also meet supportive, like-minded individuals over the course of up to six days.
