You will be amazed at how clever you are so come on your own or bring a friend to this workshop and enjoy the company of like minded people while you learn some great techniques using our Blake & Taylor Chalk Furniture Paint.
We shall spoil you by serving morning tea while you paint and create in our beautiful air conditioned Workshop Space.
This is a beginners class so no previous painting skills are needed. Just like chalk paint there is minimal preparation required before using our paint. It is 100% made in Australia just for Blake & Taylor, created by Ellie Ramsay, washes up in water and is so easy to use.
We provide all the materials, tuition, and a pine timber 29 x 19 x 20cm stool for you to paint and take home. Experiment with all of the 14 colours our whitewash, waxes and Clear Top Coat with different paint finishes and techniques.
The only thing you need to bring is your creative spirit and your camera to capture all the fun on the day. This paint is truly addictive and you will want to just paint more and more once you try it. Learn about all the different surfaces that can be transformed with our fabulous paint, you can even use it on fabric.
Students also receive 10% discount on paint products purchased from this workshop on the day.
My paint is 100% Australian made and we love it - we know you will too! Ellie Ramsay
We shall send an email to you a few days before your class which will act as a reminder. Please make sure you read the cancellation policy for all of our workshops on the workshop page on our web site.
