  £20 - £30 (£30 per guest when you book for 1 guest, £25/guest for 2 guests, £20/guest for 3+ guests)

This can be a drop and go workshop for your child or you are welcome to stay and take part as well as long as you purchase a place (discount for booking two).
Where imagination meets sustainability. If you're looking for a fun and meaningful activity for your child then this is for you. Let your child dive into a world of creative upcycling - turning everyday items into colourful, one of a kind masterpieces. Fun, hands on planet-friendly crafting for curious young makers.
This is a sustainable, upcycling workshop where children will also learn about sustainability and the circular economy in a fun and interactive way. I will also teach them about recycling vs upcycling and how small changes can help our planet.
Your child will learn how to upcycle pre-loved items using paint, decoupage and decorative effect techniques such as stenciling. Bring along a non-breakable bowl, picture frame, mirror or box or plate and children will learn how to give it a whole new life with paint and/or decoupage. There will be lots of choice of paint and patterns available. I ask that children bring something from home as this is a sustainable workshop but I am also able to provide an item but please let me know.
This is suitable for children from Year 3 to Year 7 with a maximum number of 8 places so that it is a small group hands on experience.
I have 15 years experience of teaching in Primary schools and I was formerly an Assistant Headteacher so your child is in good hands.
This will be held at my new Vintage Chic ReLoved Studio, Ferry Lane, Shepperton which has a Cafe which serves lovely food and coffee so this could be an opportunity to meet friends whilst your child is learning about the environment. There is also a hairdresser and a beautician on site.
What you'll get
A fully upcycled bowl, plate, box or picture frame. Whilst mirrors are breakable they do make lovely items to upcycle and I'm happy for your child to bring one along.

Hi!
I'm passionate about sustainability and upcycling and I also have a real love for anything mid-century modern. I've been teaching for 15 years and I was previously an Assistant Headteacher. During that time, I was responsible for teaching art across different year groups and developed a love for creativity.
I've upcycled many pieces of furniture including impressive looking pieces of Stag furniture, Harrops Better Furniture and many other mid century modern pieces from writing bureaus to dressers. I've also upcycled simple occasional tables and bedside tables.
I have used a variety of decorative effects for my furniture including stenciling, decoupage (both napkin decoupage and rice paper), furniture painting and wood effects to create truly stunning transformative pieces.
Three years ago, I had a cancer diagnosis. I wasn't going to be beaten and this spurred me on to follow a more creative path, hence my love of upcycling furniture and the Vintage Chic ReLoved was created. I'm delighted that I now have the opportunity to combine both my extensive teaching experience and knowledge of transforming pre-loved furniture into upcycling workshops aimed at creating a more sustainable circular economy.
My upcycling workshops are for everyone. They take place at Vintage Chic ReLoved, Ferry Point, Ferry Lane, Shepperton TW17 9LQ. It's a cosy riverside studio.
If you are moving house and feeling the pinch needing to create a welcoming home with existing furniture; to learning how to create a stunning, one of a kind piece as well as being conscious about sustainability and ecological impact, or you just love to be creative and crafty, then my workshops are for you.
If you have any questions at all or you just want to connect, please do drop me a line on here. I always love hearing from you and I love forward to meeting with you soon at one of my workshops.
Lots of Vintage Chic love
Jacqui
