Ready to get creative, get messy (just a little!), and give old furniture a fabulous new life?
Then this one-day decoupage adventure is for you!
Perfect for total beginners, crafty dabblers, or anyone who loves turning “meh” into “WOW!”, this workshop is packed with colour, creativity, and plenty of laughs.
Here’s what we’ll get up to:
  • Learn how to prep and pimp-up a small piece of furniture.
  • Play with different decoupage styles – from vintage chic to bold and bonkers.
  • Try out water marbling (yes, it’s as cool as it sounds!).
  • Discover how to print and transfer your own images – so your dog, nan, or favourite holiday snap can become part of your masterpiece.
  • Learn sealing and finishing tricks so your creation stays looking fab for years to come.
By the end of the day, you’ll have your very own upcycled work of art to take home and show off with pride.
What to bring:
  • A packed lunch and your fabulous self.
  • A small piece of furniture – like a coffee table, stool, or bedside cupboard.
Don’t have a piece of furniture? Don’t want to bring one? No worries at all! We’ve got you covered with free wood sheets to practice on – perfect for learning new techniques, experimenting with ideas, and taking home a handmade bit of decoupage magic.
Want a furniture project but don’t have one? We usually have a few small pre-loved pieces available. Let us know in advance, and for just £5–£15 (the cost we paid), you can adopt one to work on and take home!
We supply all the materials – just bring your imagination and a sense of fun!
Come and join us for a full-on crafty day of sticking, splashing, chatting, and transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Important info for the decoupage furniture course: Bringing your own photos? If you'd like to try transferring your own photo or image, please make sure it’s printed from a computer onto cheap, standard printer paper – not photo paper, glossy paper, or card (max size 20cm x 20cm).
Keep in mind: the image is destroyed during the transfer process, so please don’t bring original or irreplaceable photos. We’ll also have plenty of images on site for you to choose from if you’d prefer not to bring your own.
Furniture size matters! Our workshop isn’t huge, so please don’t bring anything too large. Ideal items around 75cm x 75cm (maximum) include:
  • Small coffee tables
  • Bedside cabinets
  • Spice racks

Scott and Sue, experienced teachers and community workers with over 20 years in the field, have a long-standing passion for upcycling. It was the encouragement from friends and family, eager to recreate the inventive pieces they’d seen in Scott and Sue's home, that inspired them to share their skills. Now, more than eight years later, Scott and Sue offers Black Paw upcycling experiences in their workshop, helping people craft their own upcycled projects and learn skills they can use at home. Recently, they’ve expanded their courses to include van-to-campervan conversions, resin crafting and building fire pits from car wheels, bringing creativity and sustainability to a whole new level.
