DeFerrari Home is located in Wyebridge, Ontario Canada, and we are ONE of FOUR Canadian boutiques to host this FANTASTIC Workshop!

A phenomenal 2 DAY Chalk Paint party event presented by Tristan Merriam of Doghead Designs  

Tristan is a Brand Ambassador for Annie Sloan, and will be traveling to Canada from the UK to present this Workshop!

Tristan is an experienced teacher who reclaims and up-cycles quality furniture using a range of specialist paint techniques.  He is a Stockist for Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and uses it on all furniture that he applies his art to.  Tristan teaches Workshops and runs Retreats for Annie Sloan, both in the UK and abroad.  He has also appeared on BBC’s Money for Nothing, and his work has been featured in three of Annie Sloan’s “Bookazines” The Colourist.
