One to One Intro to the Annie Sloan Method at the Shop
A one to one workshop that will really get you going.
You don’t need to have had any previous painting experience because we will be going through everything so as not to miss a trick. Equally there is always something to learn! After you have done the workshop, our ongoing support means that you will always have a friendly place to seek advice and help when tackling new projects. We find that video WhatsApp is a going down well for this.
Annie designed this workshop so that you can get to grips with the best way to work with her paints and products to get a really professional finish.
In the interest of health and safety we only offer this workshop on a one to one basis so you benefit from what is effectively a master class all to yourself!
To book just email us and we will arrange a date together.
See below for more info on what you will learn.
On this workshop you practice on a wooden board to achieve the following effects:
How to prep your furniture where necessary.
Explore the many ways to manipulate the paint for effects from a simple colour wash to Annie’s signature two colour distress finish. Although this is widely used to create a “shabby chic” look with the right knowledge, it can also be used really successfully to create a sharp contemporary, or subtle build-up of layered colours finish.
Create a new colour by learning how to mix them together. Understanding how colour works is a fundamental secret to unique work.
The best way to apply the finishing coats of clear wax to give your work the protection it requires. Plus a demo on the lacquer too,
How to control the waxing procedure so you feel secure about the application of dark and coloured waxes for a perfect finish. These decorative flourishes add a subtle touch.
There is so much more I talk about as well! There are lots of ideas for using Annie’s paint on your projects in ways other than painting. I can only introduce these to you here as time goes by so very fast.
The idea is that you finish the workshop with a good understanding of what you can create with the paint and confidence to tackle your next project in just the way you want to. Revamping a piece can be so much more than just slapping a bit of paint on! So make it look special.
