The Essentials of Furniture Painting Workshop – Sunday 21st September

The Essentials of Furniture Painting Workshop

Sunday 21st September | Source for the Goose | 10am–4pm

If you’ve been meaning to explore the creative world of furniture painting – or want to revisit the basics with a fresh boost of inspiration – this relaxed and practical one-day workshop is a brilliant way to get started with style.

Held in the shop at Source for the Goose, a proudly appointed Annie Sloan Flagship Store, you’ll be learning in a setting filled with creativity, expert guidance and plenty of encouragement. As one of the top stockists worldwide, the shop perfectly reflects Annie’s design-led ethos, love of colour, and commitment to making home projects joyful and accessible.

Throughout the day, you'll learn a range of user-friendly techniques using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ and waxes – starting with practice boards to help you build confidence, followed by time to transform your own small piece of furniture.

Don't just take my word for it...

The Essentials of Furniture Painting Workshop FAQs

What do I need to bring?
Please bring a small item of furniture, such as a bedside table or dining chair — something light enough for you to carry into the shop. I’ll need to see a photo of the piece before the day, just to make sure it’s a suitable size for the session.

What time does the workshop run?
Workshops run from 10am to around 4pm, with a break for a light lunch.

What’s provided?
All paint, tools, and aprons are provided — just bring yourself and your piece of furniture!

How many people will be there?
The class is limited to just 4 people, so you’ll get plenty of support, space, and time to ask all your questions.

Please note: Workshop bookings are non-refundable. If you're unable to attend, I’ll do my best to offer a transfer to another date, subject to availability.
