In this introductory class we use Annie Sloan chalk paint and waxes which cover pretty much anything (wood, veneer, metal and even cement) and require no pre-sanding or prep work. This class gives you the tools and confidence to go home and get started on painting your own furniture to transform your home. You will learn distressing, crackle glaze and gilding, which you practice on a plank that you keep as a reminder. After learning the techniques you pick your favourite to paint a picture frame you take home with you.
