Decorative Furniture Art

Ready to take your upcycling skills to the next level? Our Decorative & Decoupage Workshop is the perfect way to explore creative new techniques and gain confidence in transforming furniture with mixed media. Whether you’re looking to add a personal touch to your home or learn how to turn your hobby into a business, this hands-on workshop will guide you through the process with lots of opportunity to seek advice and explore your ideas.

With our practical approach, you’ll learn various decoupage techniques, blending methods, and decorative finishes to turn your piece of furniture into a work of art. Our small, informal groups encourage idea-sharing, and with hands-on instruction every step of the way, ensuring you feel supported and inspired.

What’s included?

Materials available will include a choice of:

• 1 x A4 Decoupage paper (to be chosen in advance)
• Additional materials, eg, decorative furniture transfers, paint inlays, stencils, gold/silver/copper metal leaf
• Paint and finishing products
• Brunch, lunch and unlimited refreshments throughout

This workshop is ideal for those with a solid foundation in upcycling techniques.

What you need to bring:

All you need to bring is a small piece of furniture (eg, chair, bedside table, or occasional table) that has already been prepped and we will provide all the tools and materials you need, including lunch, tea and cake!  If you don’t have a piece, don’t worry we can provide one for you at an extra cost but you would need to let us know at least 14 days before.

Why choose to learn with me?

I’m a passionate advocate for giving high-quality furniture a second chance. With a keen eye for design and meticulous attention to detail, I love showing how once-forgotten pieces can be hand-painted, lovingly restored, and transformed into beautiful, functional items.

When you join one of my workshops, you’re not just learning how to paint furniture—you’re gaining the confidence and skills to express your personal style through the piece you transform. With a hands-on, practical approach, I guide you step-by-step in small, intimate groups, giving you plenty of one-on-one attention and plenty of time to ask questions. You’ll leave not only with a beautifully revamped piece, but also with the knowledge and inspiration to continue upcycling on your own.

My workshops are all about creativity and fun—no stuffy classrooms here, just a relaxed environment, great conversation, and lots of refreshments and treats to fuel your creative journey
