FURNITURE PAINTING FOR BEGINNERS

1-to-1 Workshop in Stotfold SG5

TREAT YOURSELF to some “creative me-time”, learn a new skill AND take home a beautifully upcycled piece of furniture, created by you, especially for you and your home.

Join Michelle for a day at a Furniture Painting for Beginners 1-to-1 Workshop and learn how to paint your own furniture like a pro.

Relax - learn - paint - create

In this private 1-to-1 workshop you will learn from scratch how to prep and paint your furniture, whilst getting to try different cleaners, sanders, methods of paint application and learn about the tools and techniques you will need to achieve a long lasting professional looking finish.

With practise, these skills can then be transferred not only to your furniture, but feature walls, whole bedroom suites and even your kitchen cupboards.

Workshops run from 9 am to 3.30 pm, including a break for lunch.


I supply the laughs, refreshments and everything you need on the day, just bring your furniture and a bite to eat for lunch. You can choose a pot of mineral paint from my stock to use on your piece and then take the rest home with you, ready to use on your next project.  If you have a particular colour in mind, please let me know in advance, so I can ensure it's in stock for your workshop.

You will go home relaxed, with a smile on your face, full of creative ideas, transferable painting skills, enough paint to tackle your next project (along with the confidence to do so) and a beautifully painted piece of furniture … created by you, for you!

My full day Workshops are 1-to-1 and very hands-on, so you will have my undivided attention for the whole day, plus there are no silly questions, so ask away!  You will also go home with a prep chart and continued support from me.

Cancellations & Postponements:

Workshop bookings are non-refundable, as a great deal of preparation, materials, and time are allocated to each participant’s place.  I’m always happy to offer one date change free of charge where availability allows, but further postponements or cancellations cannot be refunded.  Please note that bookings made through third-party platforms are also subject to their fees and commission, which I’m unable to recover.  In exceptional situations I may, at my discretion, offer a partial refund or goodwill gesture, but this isn’t guaranteed.  If you’re unable to attend, you’re very welcome to send someone else in your place.
