Furniture painting workshop 3/9/13

Want to learn how to paint your own furniture? I will reveal tons of my furniture painting techniques at this full day workshop!

Join us March 9th from 9 am to 3 pm. Bring your own piece of furniture and get hands on! You will leave at the end of the workshop with a completed piece of furniture. Your piece of furniture could look like the one photographed above. We will offer many different color options though, so there are lots of possibilities.

We will provide:

• all tools
• all supplies
• lunch
• drinks
• snacks

How to glaze- This piece has a black glaze on the top. We will offer a complete demonstration on how to use glaze. We will provide sample boards  so you can get hands on and practice this technique.

How to crackle- This piece has a crackle finish that was achieved with a crackle medium and a sea sponge. We will explain the whole process and then let you practice it in your very own sample board. All tools and supplies will be provided.

How to dry brush- This piece was given a super aged patina using a dry brush technique. We will demonstrate this technique from start to finish.

How to paint metal- Want to paint the hardware on a piece of furniture? We will show you exactly how to do it right! From prep work to the proper paint.

Rules- Each person is allowed one piece of furniture. It must be a small enough piece that you can easily carry the piece by yourself. It needs to be cleaned well before you arrive at the workshop. The cost is $175 per person. The workshop must be paid in full in advance. $35 is non-refundable. If you need to cancel you must do so 72 hours in advance for a refund.
