Ready to go beyond the basics and create a true statement piece over a two-day (weekend) workshop?
The Annie Sloan – Paint Your Own workshop is designed for confident painters who’ve completed our Annie Sloan Technique Workshops and are ready to put those skills into practice on their own furniture.

Bring ONE piece you’ve been dreaming of transforming—a wardrobe, dining table, dresser, buffet, mirror frame, side table, or coffee table—and spend the day refining advanced techniques in a supportive, creative studio environment. Whether your style is classic, rustic, layered, or bold, this workshop gives you the time, space, and guidance to achieve a beautifully finished result.

You’ll work at your own pace in a dedicated workspace, with access to professional tools and the freedom to choose from a curated range of Annie Sloan paints and finishes. Saltwash, waxes, decoupage papers, and transfers are available to purchase in-store so you can truly personalise your piece.

This is not a step-by-step class—it’s a hands-on studio session where you apply what you already know, experiment confidently, and walk away with a one-of-a-kind furniture transformation that feels polished, intentional, and uniquely yours.

Perfect for makers who want:

• More creative freedom

• Time to work on larger furniture pieces (if you so wish)

• A professional finish with expert support on hand

• A finished piece you’re genuinely proud to take home

Come ready to paint, layer, experiment, and elevate your furniture painting skills.
