The Essentials of Furniture Painting Workshop – Monday 5th October

The Essentials of Furniture Painting Workshop

Monday 5th October | Source for the Goose | 10am–4pm

This workshop is a creative and welcoming introduction to Chalk Paint techniques. Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or want to refresh your skills with new techniques and inspiration, this relaxed and practical one-day workshop is the perfect way to start your summer with creativity and colour.

Held in my shop at Source for the Goose, one of a select few Annie Sloan Flagship Stores, you’ll be learning in an inspiring space filled with expert guidance, encouragement, and beautiful design ideas. As one of the top Annie Sloan stockists worldwide, the shop reflects Annie’s love of furniture painting and her mission to make home decorating joyful and accessible.

Throughout the day, you’ll use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ and waxes to explore a range of techniques — starting on practice boards to build confidence before transforming your own small piece of furniture.
