This workshop is for parent and teen (age 12 or over) pairs but it is also suitable for any carer over 18 plus a younger teen or grandparents and teen grandchildren. It is also suitable for teens with additional needs. It will have small class sizes of 4 pairs maximum (So 8 people in total). The cost advertised is for two people, £50 in total.
This workshop is an opportunity for teens to learn something with their parents/carers during the holidays. Come and learn how to give a new lease of life to an old piece of furniture at this fun and creative painting workshop. This hands-on activity is perfect for any teen and parent who like to be hands-on and do something together. You will need to bring one piece of furniture between you.
In this workshop, I will teach you how to prepare your item for painting. You'll learn the correct way to clean and sand your furniture, and I’ll explain what type of paint to use and why. I use Frenchic Paint, who, in my opinion, are the market leaders. I will show you both brush and roller techniques, and you will be able to paint your piece of furniture ready to take home by the end of the session. You will also learn how to seal and care for your painted furniture once you get it home.
  • You are welcome to bring your own small piece of furniture, such as a wooden chair, an occasional table, a small stool, or a wooden box. While you can bring a bedside table or a chest of drawers, please be aware you may not finish it in time. If you don't have a piece of furniture, please let me know, as I can source one for you for a small additional cost.
  • The class will be a fun and creative opportunity to learn, with a maximum of eight participants (4 pairs). You'll go home with your beautifully updated piece of furniture and a wonderful sense of accomplishment in your new skills.
The class will take place in the Toshiba Craft Studio during the half-term holiday.

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
