much more.

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.’
