Our very own Shabby Chic expert, ShabbyAnd…’s owner, Ann Beament, who developed a business from a hobby, runs the workshops to show people how to reinvigorate their furniture and achieve that fashionable, distressed look for themselves using Autentico Chalk Paints.

It’s a great way to develop a new interest or you may want to buy an Autentico Starter Kit and a gift voucher to book a workshop place as a present for a family member or Valentine’s Day gift for that special friend.

·      What equipment you will need

·      Techniques for applying the paint

·      How to use layering techniques to create various colour patterns

·      And much more.

At the advanced workshop, you will learn how to:

·      Cover Crackle Glaze effects

·      Use the Craquelure system

·      Create 3D effect using stencils and Terrapieno embossing paste

Spaces are limited to four people at the Basic Workshop and six at the Advanced Workshop (greater numbers for parties can be accommodated by special request on booking).

Our popular workshops offer a hands-on experience. Simply bring along your piece of well-loved furniture to learn how to upcycle it using Autentico Chalk Paints and waxes. We would recommend that you bring a small item such as a stool small table, cabinet, shelf or mirror. If you do not have a piece yourself to bring along, then we can assist with this as we have pieces you can purchase to paint or just paint and leave with us.

Our workshops do not end when you leave, members from our team of experts will be available by telephone to give you help and advice.

We have also set up a special forum to create an on-going active community for our workshop participants, where you can ask questions, share ideas and show off your handiwork by uploading pictures. Ann will also use the forum to answer your messages and share tips. You will be invited to join the forum via email after the workshop.

All materials, lunch and refreshments are included and you will also receive a 10% discount on all Autentico products purchased on the day.

Sheila Staveley said on our Facebook page: ‘I really wanted to say thank you for all your advice and help last week. I came home inspired and it is now a matter of 'if it doesn’t move, paint it'.

‘I have tried a sample on my kitchen cupboards which now look amazing.’
