 | How To Paint Furniture
You will learn how to achieve the look of old French and Swedish painted furniture. The techniques learnt are distressed paint using one and two colours, crackled paint, crackled varnish, a wonderful damask style of stencilling, decoupage and decorative gilding.
You will paint two boards with all the techniques which you will be able to take away with you to remind you of the techniques you learnt. You will also be given Annie Sloan's Painted Furniture Source Book showing old pieces of painted furniture from France and the rest of Europe to help continue to inspire you. You will get 10% off everything in the shop that day also.
