This whole day hands-on workshop will give you the skills and confidence to transform your furniture. Combining our most popular ‘Essential techniques’ workshop with ‘Decorative Techniques’ too you will leave this relaxed and fun session knowing all you need to go home and transform anything and everything in sight. The workshop showcases the versatility of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and more decorative paint techniques allowing a great opportunity to sample the Annie Sloan paints, brushes and waxes.

This is an ideal introductory workshop suitable for beginners and those who have a little experience.
